Hong Kong Vacuum Effect Intensifies: GBA Business Jet Share Rises to 66%, Shenzhen + Zhuhai Synchronously Shrink; Guangzhou Grows +17% Against the Trend
Analysis
★★ AviGo data supports. Q1 2026 GBA four-airport business jet movements combined 2,421 (+1.2%) — total essentially stable but internal structure dramatically diverged. Hong Kong VHHH at 1,600 movements holds 66.1% share, up 4 percentage points from Q1 2025's 62.1% — vacuum effect continues strengthening. Shenzhen ZGSZ fell from 677 to 563 (−16.8%); Zhuhai ZGSD from 28 to 21 (−25.0%, daily average under 0.3) — both synchronously shrinking. Guangzhou ZGGG grew +17.3% against the trend (202 → 237), likely benefiting from Baiyun Airport business jet facility improvements. Zhuhai's positioning as a business jet node faces fundamental challenge — its airshow function far outweighs daily business aviation service function.
