The business aviation base at Hongqiao International Airport has been licensed as the first “4S store for private jets” on China mainland, with an annual capacity of doing maintenance for 40 plus jets. In the past the jets would have to be flown to Singapore for any maintenance, however now Hongqiao airport offers a more cost-efficient and time saving alternative.
“Projected demand is strong enough that plans are being made to build the city’s second such facility at Pudong International Airport”, Jing Yiming- President of Shanghai Hawker Pacific Aviation Service Center in Hongqiao.
Shanghai has seen more business trips and a rising number of private aircraft in recent years. The city’s two civil airports handled 2,900 movements of business aircraft this year so far, while the market demand is expected to surpass 3,200 movements, about one third of the country’s total.
