[SINGAPORE] The Asia-Pacific region is expected to account for a third of Airbus's corporate jet orders, driven largely by demand from China.
"We see a need for about five Airbus corporate jets a year in Asia-Pacific. A lot of those would be for China," said David Velupillai, marketing director for Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ).
Today, about 25 of the 170 or so Airbus corporate jets which have been sold so far are based in the region. Twenty of those are in China alone.
