Hangzhou-based charter management company Jinggong Global Jet (JGJ; Booth P618) reported at ABACE 2018 that it enjoyed “a fruitful year in 2017,” setting a new charter flight record of more than 600 hours on its Falcon 2000EX EASy and Falcon 7X, the latter being shown here at Dassault's static display (SD 08). JGJ also saw a growing number of charter requests from more than 15 countries during that same time, all of which it attributes to “a booming and changing Chinese economy.”

The company has also benefitted from its location at Hangzhou International Airport. “Hangzhou is the perfect location to base those aircraft,” said JGJ CEO Franck Dubarry. “Along with the high density of large corporations in the region, it is also right in the middle of China, allowing easy access to Hong Kong, Macau, Beijing, Shanghai, or Chengdu.” Both aircraft also have the range to provide service throughout the Asia-Pacific region and to the Middle East.

Looking ahead, JGJ’s aim in the coming year is “to pursue our expansion and to increase the charter and management fleet offer by continuously increasing the level of service,” the company said.
