Analysis
★★ AviGo data reveals stark geographic split in large-cabin business jet brand share (G650 / G700 / Global 6500/7500 / Falcon 7X/8X) across APAC's five major airports. Of Mumbai VABB's 651 large-cabin movements, Bombardier Global series captures 83.9% (Global 7500 56.2% + Global 6500 27.6%); Gulfstream only 8.8%. Of Sydney YSSY's 387 large-cabin movements, Global 7500 captures 50.6%. By contrast, Beijing ZBAA's 692 large-cabin movements have Gulfstream G550 at 60.7%. Tokyo RJTT and Seoul RKSS brand distribution data is incomplete and cannot be precisely verified, but the overall trend shows Northeast Asian markets are Gulfstream-heavy. Dassault Falcon holds some Beijing share. This landscape has direct implications for OEM regional sales strategy and MRO footprint.
