By the end of 2025, the Asia-Pacific operator landscape continued to expand modestly. Sino Jet further strengthened its leading position with 43 aircraft, while TAG Aviation remained in second place and Deer Jet moved into third position. The overall market saw broader participation in fleet growth, with many smaller operators expanding their fleets, whilst several established players recorded notable contractions. The sustained preference for larger cabin and longer range aircraft continued to influence the composition of the aircraft operated across the region.

Overview

At the end of 2025, the top 20 operators in the Asia-Pacific region operated a combined fleet of 336 business jets, representing 28.8% of the total regional fleet of 1,168 aircraft. The composition of the top 20 remained relatively stable, with a few more obvious ranking movements than in the prior year. A total of 12 operators recorded fleet growth, six experienced reductions, and two remained unchanged.

Sino Jet retained its position as the largest operator in Asia-Pacific, expanding its fleet to 43 aircraft. TAG Aviation ranked second with 35 aircraft, while Deer Jet moved into third place with 31 aircraft, overtaking Jet Aviation, which declined to fourth with 26 aircraft.

ACAM’s fleet declined to 21 aircraft, reversing its growth from the previous year. Meanwhile, several smaller operators, including Titan Aviation and Luxaviation, recorded fleet expansion.

Fleet Growth and Reduction Trends

Fleet adjustments among the top 20 operators in 2025 were primarily driven by new aircraft and management contract wins. Compared to YE 2024, growth was more widespread, with a greater number of operators expanding their fleets, although contractions among several large operators offset part of this momentum.

Operators with the Most Significant Fleet Growth

• Titan Aviation: +five aircraft (Total ten aircraft)
• TAG Aviation: +three aircraft (Total 35 aircraft)
• Deer Jet: +three aircraft (Total 31 aircraft)
• AVCAIR: +three aircraft (Total eight aircraft)
• Karnavati Aviation: +two aircraft (Total ten aircraft)
• Australian Corporate Jet Centres: +two aircraft (Total nine aircraft)
• Luxaviation: +two aircraft (Total 15 aircraft)

Operators with Significant Fleet Reductions

• Jet Aviation: -four aircraft (Total 26 aircraft)
• BAA: -three aircraft (Total 18 aircraft)
• Phenix Jet: -two aircraft (Total 14 aircraft)
• Club One Air: -three aircraft (Total nine aircraft)
• ACAM: -five aircraft (Total 21 aircraft)
• Global Jet International: -one aircraft (Total nine aircraft)

These movements indicated a more dynamic redistribution of managed business jets, with emerging operators and smaller aircraft capturing growth opportunities, while several established operators adjusted their portfolios.

Demand & Changes In Fleet Composition

The composition of aircraft types within operator fleets continued to evolve in response to demand for range, cabin size, and operational flexibility. Key trends among leading operators included:

• Continued expansion of Long Range aircraft within leading fleets, particularly among the biggest operators such as Sino Jet and TAG Aviation. Sino Jet maintained one of the largest Gulfstream G650/ER fleets in the region, while TAG further strengthened its flagship fleet with seven Global 7500 aircraft and one G700, reinforcing the shift toward nextgeneration business jets.
• Ongoing fleet modernization, with older Long Range aircraft being phased out and replaced by newer-generation models. Based on fleet movement data, a significant portion of removals in 2025 was concentrated in older Long Range aircraft, including legacy Gulfstream aircraft, while additions were predominantly newer-generation models, indicating a clear replacement cycle rather than net expansion alone.
• Increased presence of Large and Long Range aircraft across mid-sized operators reflected broader access to high-end aircraft categories. Several top operators added Long Range jets in 2025, improving their access to intercontinental flight missions. At the same time, some operators reduced exposure to older cCorporate Airliners and legacy Gulfstream aircraft, in line with changing client preferences.

Overall, demand remained concentrated in aircraft capable of longhaul, intercontinental missions, reinforcing the strategic importance of range and cabin comfort in the Asia-Pacific market.

REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF TOP OPERATORS

The geographic distribution of leading operators remained broadly consistent, with strong representation across Greater China, Southeast Asia, and key regional hubs such as Singapore and Australia.

Greater China

Greater China continued to represent the largest concentration of the biggest business jet operators. Sino Jet maintained its dominant position with 43 aircraft, while TAG Aviation and Deer Jet both expanded during the year. Deer Jet recovered to 31 aircraft, while Lily Jet and Amber Aviation continued to expand modestly, and BAA recorded further contraction.

Japan & South Korea

Japan’s market remained relatively stable, with Phenix Jet continuing as the leading operator despite a reduction to 14 aircraft. Jet Aviation maintained a limited but stable presence in the country.

In South Korea, Korean Air Lines remained the largest operator, although its in-operation fleet declined from six aircraft in 2024 to five in 2025 following the storage of a BBJ 787-8. Overall, the market showed limited change, with the country’s fleet decreasing by one aircraft to 21.

Australia, India, and Southeast Asia

Operators across Southeast Asia and Oceania showed mixed but active fleet movement in 2025.

• Luxaviation expanded to 15 aircraft, strengthening its regional position.
• Australian Corporate Jet Centres grew to nine aircraft, reflecting increased activity in Australia.
• Titan Aviation emerged as a notable new entrant into the top tier, increasing its fleet from five to ten aircraft.
• Karnavati Aviation continued its rapid expansion in India, reaching ten aircraft.
• Meanwhile, operators such as Air Link remained stable, while Club One Air declined to nine aircraft.

The Asia-Pacific operator landscape in 2025 was characterized by higher overall activity, and broader fleet movement. Compared with the previous year, the region recorded increases in new deliveries, pre-owned additions, deductions, and intra-APAC transfers, indicating a more active operating environment rather than simple net fleet expansion. While several established operators adjusted or reduced their portfolios, growth among smaller and emerging operators showed that market participation continued to broaden. Looking ahead, demand for next-generation Long Range aircraft are expected to remain a defining factor, and shape the fleet in future years.
