Traffic of business jets at Shanghai's two airports increased
43 percent in the first eight months amid growing demand, the city's
business aviation base announced today.
A total of 2,700
business jets took off and landed at Pudong and Hongqiao international
airports in the first eight months, 24 percent more than the same period
of 2011, said George Lu, deputy general manager of the Shanghai Hawker
Pacific Business Aviation Service Center at the Hongqiao airport.
"More
Chinese are buying business jets as the mainland market has entered a
rapid growth period just as that of the civil aviation market in the
country 10 yeas ago," Lu told a press conference today.
Dassault
Falcon, a French business jet manufacturer, today launched its

It
is the third business jet maker to set up a maintenance center in
Shanghai following Hawker Beechcraft and Bombardier, Lu said.
