Charter start-up Big White Bear Jet (Booth P216) will be open for business in August this year. Located in the Shunyi Bonded Zone at Beijing Capital Airport, the company will offer management and charter services, and has also established a base that will offer aircraft maintenance and crew training. The company has a Gulfstream G450 (present this week in the ABACE static park), a Gulfstream G200 and a Bombardier Global 5000 under management–all of which are currently operated by Deer Jet, which is also based at Beijing.

“We expect strong growth in our business and aim to have more than 30 jets on our books within five years,” said Big White Bear vice president Liang Fuhua, adding that the company also will look to establish bases beyond Beijing.
