Sichuan Huahui Business Aviation Services, the FBO operator at China’s Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, has opened its new facility. A partnership between Sichuan Airport Group Aviation Ground Services and Sino Jet, the Chengdu FBO will integrate traditional long-haul business aviation operations with the emerging low-altitude sector. The country’s low-altitude economy is expected to reach a value of RMB 2 trillion ($275 billion) by 2030.
The 5,500-sq-m (59,000-sq-ft) facility not only offers comprehensive services for private jets and their clients—including upscale dining and art exhibitions—but also serves as a hub for eVTOL and other low-altitude regional aircraft. This allows passengers to seamlessly transition between the two modes, the companies said.
According to Sichuan Huahui Business Aviation Services, which has positioned itself as a pioneer in the “business aviation and low-altitude economy” model, identifying the potential of the eVTOL/advanced air mobility sector will allow it to offer seamless connections for door-to-door travel options. It added that this would “inject new vitality into urban transportation in the Southwest region and beyond, presenting new solutions to increasingly severe urban traffic congestion issues.”
