China’s business jet fleet is growing rapidly and the aviation industry sees great opportunity in the country. However, challenges ranging from infrastructure to public perception mean that it will be years before the country’s private fliers get the same flexibility and service that are found in more developed markets.

They point out that it is a large country – both geographically and in terms of population – and those factors combined with strong economic growth mean the market is full of potential.
