China's private jet market is showing signs of stabilization this year after a period of significant sell-offs following the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Hong Kong-based Asian Sky Group, the net decrease in private jets in mainland China was six in 2025, a notable slowdown from a net decrease of 21 in 2024. This contraction had previously outpaced other Asian markets. While a few new business jet deliveries are pending, very few occurred last year. The firm suggests that sales by owners facing financial difficulties have likely concluded, indicating a potential shift in demand across industries.
