According to a Star Tribune report, it is hard to think of a product for which China is as promising a market as it is for business jets.

The Tribune said the Chinese government, long the biggest obstacle to growth, is changing its attitude and is promising to build 10 to 15 new airports a year. China has fewer than 400 airports for civil use today, whereas small jets can land at 18,000 fields across America.

The Tribune notes that China’s latest official five-year plan explicitly promotes the development of non-airline aviation and calls for reforms to improve the efficiency and allocation of airspace.
