Private aviation group Sino Jet is stepping up its plans to be a leader in China’s emerging advanced air mobility (AAM) sector following its announcement in August that it will buy 100 of the AE200 eVTOL aircraft being developed by the Aerofugia subsidiary of the Geely automotive group. The tiltrotor model is expected to carry five passengers and have a range of up to around 300 kilometers (188 miles).

According to Jenny Lau, president of Hong Kong-based Sino Jet, the partnership aligns with the business aircraft operator’s strategic vision to offer a complete range of transportation services to its clients, including last-mile connections. Beyond aircraft management and charter flights, the company plans to invest in new FBO private terminals in mainland China.
