Bizjet Flights in Asia Pacific Region Reportedly Increasing

Business jet flight activity is on the rise in the Asia Pacific region, according to Hong Kong-based ASA Group, which supplies security, ground-handling and concierge services in the area. Chief executive Simon Wagstaff said his firm has been "incredibly busy" since mid December, "so much so that we have had to beef up our team and bring in new staff." Wagstaff added that flights appear to be split about equally between business and pleasure trips and are originating all over the world, with jets coming in from North America, the Middle East, Europe and Asia. He said that the upturn shows "no sign of abating."
