Jetcraft takes off to widen Asian presence with new Singapore office

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 -- Jetcraft, the world leader in business jet sales and acquisitions, has announced the opening of an office in Singapore to support growth in Southeast Asia and across the region.

The office will be led by Tim Yue, who is currently Hong Kong-based and has over a decade of experience in business aviation. He will work closely with Jetcraft Asia President David Dixon, who oversees all activities in the region.

Based on a statement, Dixon said: “Asia remains a crucial market for Jetcraft so expanding our footprint into Singapore is a logical step, providing further proof of our long-term commitment to serving our global client base and unrivalled market access.

“Singapore has seen significant growth in business aviation and the multiple maintenance facilities at Seletar Aerospace Park, paired with the region’s role in the financial service sector, make it an optimum location.

“Worldwide, the real value of business aviation is increasingly being realised and we are encouraged by the significant number of first-time buyers entering our industry, albeit recently in an unexpected way.”

UK-headquartered Jetcraft first established its Asia presence in Hong Kong in 2012, followed by the opening of an additional location in Gold Coast, Australia.

Jetcraft, which will recruit a local team in Singapore, as well as relocate existing employees, manages and maintains over 20 regional offices globally.
