The Asian market is waking up to the fact that companies using business aircraft earn more than those that don’t (141 percent more, according to an NBAA analysis). However, there are many obstacles remain to developing the private aviation sector in that part of the world. Until recently, no single Asian voice addressed the benefits and hurdles of establishing business aviation, but that is changing as the region’s associations begin to work together to create a more friendly environment for the segment.
During a session on international operations at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition , three regional association leaders from Asia spoke about their respective territories: Capt. Karan Singh, vice president of the Business Aviation Association for India (BAAI); Jean-Noel Robert, chairman of the Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA); and Kazumobu Sato, vice president of the Japanese Business Aviation Association (JBAA), talked about the challenges of developing the sector in their respective locales.
