Liao Xuefeng, Chairman, China Business Aviation Group:
Aircraft is a non-current asset that could be replaced in a few years. For business jet owners who would like to customize your cabin, it might be best to consider if you would sell it in a few years, because it is not easy to find a buyer who shares your taste and aesthetic. For potential buyers, custom made VIP business jets often mean higher cost, as it requires extra time and money to modify. If you want to maximize the remarket value of your plane, it is advisable to design a style agreeable with most buyers. Unlike in Europe and U.S. where most buyers are buying their second or third jet and have enough time to await a modification, in China, buyers do not have high requirements on cabin design, because most of them are buying their very first jet and use it for efficient travel. But if you are not going to sell your jet in the near future, you can modify it anyway you want. For frequent travelers, a business jet is their private home that reflects personal taste.
