While the term “infrastructure” can encompass several different services, this report focuses on the three most significant components impacting the BGA industry: airport capacity, fixed-base operations (FBOs) and maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities (MROs). In the US, airports dedicated to BGA activity and the FBOs and MROs that support it are in abundance: 2,069 airports (with runways longer than 5,000ft), 3,384 FBOs and approximately 2,500 MROs. To put that in context, for every six business jets there is a BGA airport, for every five an MRO facility and for every four an FBO. These are envy inducing ratios, making the US market the standard bearer for the industry worldwide. In Asia Pacific – the region this report covers – we can only look at the US numbers and hope (pray?) for that kind of future. At the end of 2016 the Asia Pacific business jet fleet stood at 1,155 jets, yet despite the size of the fleet and the vastness of the region (almost five times the size of the US), there were a mere 80 MROs and 61 FBOs; equal to only 15 business jets per MRO and 19 per FBO. A significant imbalance one could say. At first glance the situation with overall airport capacity appears positive. The Asia Pacific region boasts 1,017 airports with paved runways of 5,000ft or longer, but these are rarely if ever dedicated BGA airports, and usually aren’t even designed with the idea of serving the business aviation community at all. Rather they are huge, international “ports of entry” with the sole purpose to serve commercial carriers and the millions of passengers passing through their terminals. Therefore, our industry faces a different challenge with airports and that’s one of “access”; access to and from airports (slots), and access to space when we get there (parking bays). Over the next 20 years, commercial passenger traffic in the Asia Pacific region is forecast to increase by 1.8 billion, which is the same amount for the rest of the world combined. More passengers mean more aircraft which mean more movements and less access – slots and parking – for business aviation. Within the next two years alone Beijing, Manila and Singapore will reach runway capacity. Hong Kong is already over capacity. Terminals are no better, with eight of the top 11 airports in Asia already classified as “full”. Unfortunately, from a capacity perspective there does not appear to be light at the end of the tunnel, at least for now. Yet, while capacity constraints will only get worse before they get better, there are positive takeaways regarding Asia Pacific’s existing FBO and MRO landscape. Asia Pacific offers some extremely competent MRO service centers, providing everything from basic line maintenance to painting and interior work to significant heavy maintenance capabilities. These facilities include OEM factory owned service centers, large independent multi- country and multi-product authorized service providers, and smaller single country dedicated operations. Asia Pacific also offers business aviation users a number of first class FBO operations to choose from that often outshine their western counterparts in terms of both scale and service. This report will provide ASG’s usual comprehensive detail cataloguing the ownership, operations and capabilities of those MRO/FBO facilities – for business jets, turboprops and helicopters – while delving into the specific benefits, issues and challenges faced by each of the countries in our region (Please visit the recently launched www.asianskymedia.com for specific country profile reports). One final note of thanks to our contributors, who are among the foremost regional experts and operators in the industry: David Best and John Riggir of Jet Aviation, Madonna Fung of the HKBAC, Bruce Watson of Metrojet, Simon Wayne of Bombardier, and Sylvia Zhang of Fastransit. We hope you find this new report useful. We face significant issues and challenges that as an industry we will have to come together and tackle in order to continue the growth trajectory of the Asia-Pacific BGA market. Sincerely, Jeffrey C. Lowe Managing Director, Asian Sky Group 2 | 2017 INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • There are 1,017 airports in the Asia-Pacific region, including registries for Indonesia, Thailand, and other countries.

  • Analysis of the Effects of Air Transport Liberalisation on the Domestic Market in Japan
    Chikage Miyoshi Analysis Of The Effects Of Air Transport Liberalisation On The Domestic Market In Japan COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis Academic year 2006-2007 Chikage Miyoshi Analysis of the effects of air transport liberalisation on the domestic market in Japan Supervisor: Dr. G. Williams May 2007 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Cranfield University 2007. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner Abstract This study aims to demonstrate the different experiences in the Japanese domestic air transport market compared to those of the intra-EU market as a result of liberalisation along with the Slot allocations from 1997 to 2005 at Haneda (Tokyo international) airport and to identify the constraints for air transport liberalisation in Japan. The main contribution of this study is the identification of the structure of deregulated air transport market during the process of liberalisation using qualitative and quantitative techniques and the provision of an analytical approach to explain the constraints for liberalisation. Moreover, this research is considered original because the results of air transport liberalisation in Japan are verified and confirmed by Structural Equation Modelling, demonstrating the importance of each factor which affects the market. The Tokyo domestic routes were investigated as a major market in Japan in order to analyse the effects of liberalisation of air transport. The Tokyo routes market has seven prominent characteristics as follows: (1) high volume of demand, (2) influence of slots, (3) different features of each market category, (4) relatively low load factors, (5) significant market seasonality, (6) competition with high speed rail, and (7) high fares in the market.

  • The Japanese Decadal Change of the Available Travel Routes
    Journal of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2010 Propagation of Improvement Effects of Critical Inter-city Link --- The Japanese Decadal Change of the Available Travel Routes --- Makoto OKUMURA Makoto TSUKAI Professor Associate Professor Center for Northeast Asian Studies Graduate School of Engineering Tohoku University Hiroshima University 41, Kawauchi, Aoba-ku, Sendai 1-4-1, Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima 980-8576 Japan 739-8527 Japan Fax: +81-22-795-7477 Fax: +81-82-424-7827 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Yusuke KIMURA East Japan Railway Company Operation and Rolling Stock Department 2-2-2, Yoyogi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 151-8578 Japan Abstract: Unlike the urban highway network, the inter-city network is composed of heterogeneous links of various speeds, costs and frequencies. Improvement of one airway link can possibly provide a new attractive travel route, such as an air connection route, as well as multi-modal route, including middle distance railway access. The improvement effect of a critical link may be propagated over the nation-wide network, unlimited to the direct neighbor connector of the improved link. How such propagation occurred in Japan between 1995 and 2005 is investigated. K-th shortest path search algorithm is applied to find the available set of routes. Remarkable changes in the Tohoku-Western Japan pairs are detected. This paper further analyzes the effects of the Shinkansen expansion to Hachinohe in 2002 on the service level of the available routes for those OD pairs, proving that there are strong multi-modal propagations on the air links at Sendai airport.

  • 100Questions for Trading with Japan
    x 100 Questions for Trading with Japan April 2014 ASEAN PROMOTION CENTRE ON TRADE, INVESTMENT AND TOURISM Under the activity of ASEAN-Japan Centre in FY2013, this book was translated from Japanese into English based on the book “100 Questions for Trading with Japan” issued by Manufactured Imports and Investment Promotion Organization (MIPRO). This material has been prepared based on the information collected in the summer of 2012. The contents might be changed due to the amendments of laws etc., for details, please contact to the address at the end of the book for further information. Preface The ASEAN-Japan Centre is pleased to introduce the book “100 Questions for Trading with Japan” and expresses our gratitude to the Manufactured Imports and Investment Promotion Organization (MIPRO) for sharing this invaluable book which was designed to serve Japanese importers and foreign exporters. This book is written in a question-and-answer form covering the rules and regulations, which govern operations such as customs procedures, foreign payments, etc. Further, the book also takes into account various business sectors, which are of great attention to foreign exporters towards the Japanese market. This may serve as a useful tool for stakeholders from ASEAN member states who wish to export their products into Japan. Since the content of the book was originally designed in Japanese language for Japanese companies, however, readers who are foreigners outside Japan may sometimes “get a feeling” of touching a regulation/instruction/advice for a Japanese entity. For example, a popular phrase “please contact the relevant authority in the nearest prefecture/city where your office is located for further details” is really for a Japanese businessperson rather than for a foreign one.
