There were 1,168 business jets based in the Asia-Pacific region at the end of 2025, representing a 1.5% year-on-year increase from 1,151 aircraft at the end of 2024. This represented the strongest regional growth rate since the COVID-19 downturn, although the pace remained moderate. The recovery was supported by 40 new deliveries and 77 pre-owned additions, partially offset by 100 deductions, while 28 aircraft moved within Asia-Pacific during the year.

Despite continued structural adjustments, mainland China remained the largest individual business jet market in Asia-Pacific, with 243 aircraft, down six units from 2024. At the broader subregional level, Greater China stabilized, increasing by one aircraft to 332, helped by growth in Hong Kong SAR.

Across the region, Long Range Jets continued to account for the largest share of the fleet, with 408 aircraft, representing 34.9% of the total Asia-Pacific fleet. This underscored sustained demand for aircraft capable of intercontinental missions, particularly connecting Asia-Pacific with Europe and North America. At the top end of the market, next-generation Long Range aircraft continued to expand their presence, with the Bombardier Global 7500 fleet reaching 46 aircraft and the Gulfstream G700 fleet reaching 12 aircraft by the end of 2025. Long Range Jets also dominated deliveries during the year, accounting for 30 of 40 new deliveries, or 75.0%.

The Gulfstream G650/ER remained one of the most widely operated Long Range aircraft in Asia-Pacific, with the G650ER alone totaling 98 aircraft and the combined G650/G650ER fleet remaining a major part of the regional Long Range fleet. Meanwhile, newer aircraft such as the G700 and Global 7500 continued to gain share. Pre-owned activity also remained active, particularly among established Long Range aircraft, with the Gulfstream G550 recording eight pre-owned additions, followed by the Dassault Falcon 7X with six and the Legacy 600 with four.

The Medium, Light, and Very Light segments, demand remained stable but growth was limited in 2025. These categories all declined slightly year-on-year, while the Pilatus PC24 remained an important exception in the Light Jet segment, with the fleet reaching 25 aircraft by year-end. Overall, the data points to a market increasingly shaped by Long Range upgrades and replacement activity rather than broad-based growth across all size categories.

From a manufacturer perspective, Bombardier retained its position as the largest OEM in Asia-Pacific, with 311 aircraft, followed by Gulfstream with 292 and Textron Aviation with 287. Gulfstream recorded the strongest new delivery activity in 2025, with 19 new deliveries valued at USD 1,171.6 million at 2025 list prices, while Bombardier followed with 12 new deliveries valued at USD 829.8 million. In total, new aircraft deliveries into Asia-Pacific reached USD 2.24 billion, highlighting the continued concentration of demand in highend, Long Range aircraft segments.

At the country level, Australia remained the second-largest market, with 218 aircraft, supported by a fleet primarily composed of Light and Very Light jets for domestic and regional operations. India continued to be the strongest growth driver in the region, with its fleet increasing by 20 aircraft to 188, making it the third-largest market in Asia-Pacific. At the subregional level, South Asia recorded the highest net fleet growth, increasing by 19 aircraft.

Southeast Asia remained an important business aviation market, but its fleet declined by eight aircraft to 279 in 2025. Within the subregion, Vietnam recorded the fastest growth rate in Asia-Pacific, increasing by six aircraft to 15, while Malaysia expanded modestly. Indonesia remained unchanged, while Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines recorded fleet reductions.

Singapore remained a key regional operating and offshore registration hub, but its fleet fell by 10 aircraft to 66 during the year.

Net fleet reductions were observed in several markets, including Singapore, mainland China, the Philippines, Thailand, New Zealand, South Korea, and Pakistan.

In terms of overall fleet movements, 2025 saw increases in new deliveries, pre-owned additions, deductions, and intra-regional transfers compared with the previous year.

The operator landscape remained moderately concentrated. The top 20 operators accounted for 336 aircraft, or 28.8% of the total Asia-Pacific fleet. Sino Jet remained the largest operator with 43 aircraft, followed by TAG Aviation with 35 and Deer Jet with 31.

Offshore registration trends remained broadly consistent. The number of offshoreregistered aircraft increased slightly to 207, representing 17.7% of the Asia-Pacific fleet. San Marino’s T7- registry remained the largest offshore registry, with 101 aircraft and 48.8% of the offshore-registered fleet. Offshore registration remained especially prevalent in Hong Kong SAR and Singapore, while markets such as India and South Korea continued to rely primarily on local registrations.

At the same time, the Asia-Pacific fleet continued to mature, with 45.6% of aircraft aged 15 years or above. This indicates that the regional market is gradually transitioning from an expansion-driven phase toward one increasingly influenced by replacement cycles, modernization, and aircraft relocating.

Overall, 2025 marked a year of moderate renewed growth and continued fleet modernization in Asia-Pacific. The region’s development was characterized by stronger new deliveries, active pre-owned transactions, and the continued rise of nextgeneration Long Range aircraft.
