shanghai is considering building a new business aviation airport to meet the rising demand for business jets in the city, an official from the shanghai airport authority said on tuesday.

 

上海空管局的一位官员周二表示，上海将考虑建造一座商业航空机场以满足市内不断增长的商务飞机使用需求。

 

"in addition to the existing business aviation bases, shanghai is also planning a new business aviation base elsewhere in the city," said jing yiming, president of the shanghai airport authority, at the opening of the three-day asian business aviation conference & exhibition.

 

"the market potential of shanghai's business aviation is huge, where we've seen more than 20 percent year-on-year growth in the ¹ during the past few years. so far, a total of 67 general aviation enterprises and 371 general aviation aircraft have been registered with the civil aviation administration of china's east china regional administration," jiang huaiyu, an official from the administration was quoted as saying by the shanghai observer.

 

"so it is necessary for shanghai to have an independent airport handling business and general aviation," jiang added.

 

currently, the second business aviation base at shanghai hongqiao international airport is under construction, and is expected to become operational in 2018.

 

there were 900 turbine helicopters and 450 business jets in china as of 2016, with compound annualized growth rates of around 6 percent and 9 percent, respectively, over the past decade, said charles park, director of ² analysis and planning of honeywell ³.

 

wang qi, vice-president of china sales and chief representative of atr, said the development of general aviation will create opportunities for less populated airports.

 

"about 92 percent of passengers are concentrated in the top 50 of the nation's 219 airports, while the bottom 100 airports only handle 1.6 percent of the total passenger flow, where general aviation can play their role," said wang.
