Cessna Aircraft is hoping to launch charter and management services in China next year under a new joint venture (JV), after it received a business license last month. The JV, its third in the country, was formed late last year with its manufacturing partner Caiga, a subsidiary of Avic, and customer Guangzhou Zhongheng Group.
