AsBAA Warns of Consequences of China/U.S. Trade Dispute
The association expressed concern not only about business jet sales but also about ramifications for suppliers.

The Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA) expressed concern about potential consequences of a growing trade dispute in light of the recent announcements for planned new tariffs on U.S. and Chinese goods. “The newly proposed tariff announcements might affect a certain weight category of business jet aircraft being imported into China,” AsBAA chair Jenny Lau wrote in a memo to members. “This could influence buyers' decision making, having an effect on manufacturers and the wider business aviation industry, although it is too early to predict the magnitude of any potential impact.”
