A total of 1,154 business jets were in operation in Asia-Pacific at the end of 2023, up a slight 0.2% for the year—after a 3.7% decline in 2022, according to Asian Sky Group’s (ASG’s) newly released full-year Fleet Report. East Asia led the growth in the region, up 8.3%, with fleets expanding in countries such as South Korea and Japan.

Mainland China remained firmly in top position as the largest business jet market at the end of 2023 in the region despite three consecutive years of net declines. However, the rate of decrease in China, which is home to a fleet of 272 aircraft, eased in 2023 to 3.2%, compared to a drop of 14.3% in 2022.
