Only 15 Business Jet Movements at Boao Airport During the 2026 Boao Forum, Deer Jet Records Zero — China's Top Business Jet Operator Completely Absent from a National-Level Diplomatic Event
Analysis
During the 2026 Boao Forum period (March 20 to April 5), Qionghai Boao Airport (ZJQH) recorded just 15 business jet movements, while Haikou Meilan Airport (ZJHK) recorded zero — combined 15 movements. Deer Jet, a HNA Group subsidiary and one of China's largest business jet operators, recorded zero flights at both airports. The Boao Forum is one of Asia's highest-profile political-business summits, historically a priority business jet support scenario. Deer Jet's complete absence may reflect: (1) fundamental changes in fleet and client structure post-HNA restructuring; (2) forum attendee travel shifting to government aircraft or commercial first class; (3) the extremely low 15-movement total itself suggests significantly weakened business jet demand for this forum edition. Confidence: ★★ (AviGo single data source with clear data, but lacking KG event cross-verification of Deer Jet operational status).
