China’s private aviation industry is mounting with some serious regulatory manacles attached. Unfortunately for the increasing population of Chinese pilots, there are so many limitations on flying in the country, many of them are resorting to soaring under the radar, both literally and symbolically.
If you desire to fly anywhere in China in your own aircraft, there are many hoops to jump through. Requirements must be filed days, even weeks in advance. And the needs have to be made in several places to keep everyone happy. There’s no chance of just jumping in your plane and flying to a meeting on a moment’s perceive. Instead of trade with all the red tape, many pilots are simply deciding to fly illegally.
According to a story in Time, some pilots are preferring to pay the fine if they are caught as it is roughly the same price as the sanction needed to make the flight legally. With a population of above 1.3 billion people, there are only just about 200 private aircraft in China. The strongly proscribed nation has only permitted private ownership of aircraft since 2003.
However with so many millionaires and billionaires in the quickly growing economy, aircraft makers are placing themselves in what could be the next big market for general aviation. Several makers of general aviation aircraft together with Cessna, Cirrus and Diamond Aircraft are all building a strong presence in the Chinese market. Both Cessna and Diamond are manufacturing airplanes in China nowadays.
For making aircraft in China is for the same economic motivations many things are made in China. But its no top secret that there is a thrust for aviation companies to place themselves in the world’s most crowded nation so when the aviation market overflow gates open, those companies will be there to train and sell the rising pilot population. It’s a parallel strategy to that used by GM and Volkswagen, the two top products in the country. But as the manufacturers are pointing themselves to serve a market that has yet to blow up, previously flying private aircraft in China maintain to find it hard to enjoy the friendly skies.
There are various places in the country where local governments have formed some faintly more comfortable airspace rules. But in the Chinese aviation world expect the same transportation report that happened with cars and guide to highways and driving clubs, will find its method to the flying world in China as well.
