Nearly all respondents reported saving 2 to 3 hours per trip compared with commercial flights
Business aircraft travel is increasingly becoming more of a staple for large-company executives in Asia, according to a just-released study by Airbus Corporate Jets. Conducted by Australian firm Pureprofile, it surveyed 67 senior professionals in China, Hong Kong, and Singapore, including 34 executives from large corporations in Asia and 33 from Asian-based family offices, hedge funds, and private equity firms managing $141 billion in assets.
The study found that business aviation is now central to operations, with respondents saying that 63% to 69% of their business travel is now conducted via corporate jets. Nearly all reported saving two to three hours per trip compared with commercial flights, and 72% said at least a quarter of their business routes are not served by airlines.
