UAS International Trip Support has increased its footprint in China with the announcement that it is now a local handling agent providing services across the country. The company has the ability to negotiate directly with airports, eliminating the need for subcontracted middlemen, it says. UAS China now has dedicated handling agents at major business aviation hubs such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xi’an, and Guangzhou.

“As China’s internal and international business aviation sector rapid development continues, we’re providing international operators and customers consistent, reliable services in the dynamic operating environment of Greater China,” said company co-owner, founder and CEO Omar Hosari. “By delivering this and guaranteeing the UAS standard of quality at every location, we’re aiming to give our clients exactly what they need, along with an improved customer journey.”

Having a local UAS contractor onsite to coordinate all ground handling and trip support services at those airports will benefit the company’s clientele, particularly international operators, who will now have fewer points of contact to help them navigate the complexities of operating in China. English-speaking personnel will be on hand to support all requirements for the duration of their stay in the country.

“This positions UAS as the only partner a client will need in China,” Hosari explained. “As a one-stop-shop for all business aviation needs, we can ensure our clients benefit from improved operational efficiency and reduced operating costs supported by our enhanced service, competitive pricing, and extended capabilities.”

UAS (Booth C10638) increased its China presence last year with the announcement of a preferred provider agreement with Deer Jet, the country’s largest FBO operator. The deal offered UAS customers special pricing and service priority at Deer Jet’s 11 FBOs, and supervision at 180 other airports in China due to Deer Jet’s extensive ground presence.
