At the inaugural Business Aviation Asia Forum and Expo, Sino Jet founder and president Jenny Lau praised the new event this week at Singapore’s Changi Exhibition Centre. “I think it’s a good start,” she said. “After ABACE [ended in 2019], we haven’t had a proper show [in Asia]. The industry still needs professionals to meet and see each other so we can create more business opportunities and share collaborative ideas.”

Lau has noticed a demographic shift in the business aviation customer base in Asia, with more young new entrants and a shift from traditional business owners to people involved in high-tech industries. “They’re more comfortable to travel on business jets, they like to travel in big groups, and they’re more actively doing business overseas,” she told AIN.
