China Business Aviation - Sunset for Aircraft Deliveries Means New Opportunities for MROs
Despite TheHurunBusinessJetOwners2017reportstatingthere'sstilldemandfor almost2000newjetstobedeliveredtoChineseoperators,expertsacrossthe globeagreethatthegoldenageofnewbizjetsinthemainlandisover.Yet, whenonedoorcloses,anotheropensandwhiledeliveriesinChinamaybe plummeting,demandforMROhassoared.There'sprettysimplereasonwhy. TogetherwithMacau,TaiwanandHongKong,Chinaisthe largestbusinessaviationmarketinAsia-Pacific.Hometoaround480business jets,thiscountryhasexperiencedaboomindeliveriesofnewmachinesover theperiodof2010-2014,stabilizingthenumberto7%fleetgrowththrough 2014-2016,accordingtodataprovidedbyJetMaintenanceSolutions.

Furthermore,accordingtodatafromChina,2016wasthefirstyearforalong time,whenpre-ownedaircraftsurpassednewaircraftdeliveries. "ThismaywellbeanamazingopportunityforMROsto tryandestablishtheirpresenceinoneofthemegaeconomiesoftheworld, however,there'smoretothepicturethananakedeyecansee,"explains DariusSaluga,CEOofJetMaintenanceSolutions."Thechallengesstart withtheneedforon-groundpresence.InordertobecompetitiveinChinese bizavmarket,youmustestablishaJVwithlocallegalentity,thisinstantly posesrisktointernalenvironmentandbusinessprocessesduetocultural differences."

However,allthosebumpsalongthewayareonlyminor comparedtothebiggestthreattotheindustry-airportnumber.Accordingto 2016numbers,Chinahasfewerthan300airports,againstmorethan5000inthe UnitedStates.Evenbyadding20airportsayear,itwouldtakepreposterous amountoftimetoevenreachtheU.S.number,letalonesurpassit.Thisslowsdown theentireindustry,affectingbusinessaviationalongtheway.
