Chengdu Tianfu Q1 Business Jet Movements Double to 10, but Shuangliu Still Holds 94.6% — Business Aviation Reposition Far From Starting
Analysis
★★ AviGo data clear. Q1 2026 Chengdu two-airport combined business jet movements at 185: Shuangliu ZUUU 175 (94.6%); Tianfu ZUTF only 10 (5.4%). Tianfu grew +100% YoY vs. Q1 2025's 5 (+5), but absolute volume extremely low — January even recorded zero movements; February and March only 4 and 6. Although Tianfu is positioned as Chengdu's main hub, business aviation operators and clients still depend heavily on Shuangliu's mature FBO facilities and ground service network. For investors considering FBO positioning at Tianfu: current demand base is too thin, lacking short-term commercial viability — must wait for policy-driven flow guidance or commercial aviation reposition's pull effect.
