沪机场公务机2012年度出入境数量创新高

　　2012年上海两大机场（上海浦东国际机场、上海虹桥国际机场）公务机出入境班次多达1780架次，较2011年同比增加近13.1%，同比2009年同比增加近92.2%，创近七年来的最高值。乘坐“空中的士”出行的旅客达13131人次，选择公务机出行已成为登陆上海口岸最便捷的方式之一。

　　2012年，两大国际机场公务机航班量排名第一位的是来自美国的公务机，达到609架次，占总航班量的34.2%，其次是来自港澳台的公务机，航班量为346架次。公务机数量大幅增加的重要原因是上海建设国际金融中心步伐加快，国际各大公务机公司纷纷在上海建立第二总部，2012年上半年全球四大公务航空会展之一、亚洲最重量级的公务航空展览——2012亚洲公务航空会议暨展览会（ABACE）在上海虹桥国际机场开幕，吸引参展商超过150家，还有F1世界锦标赛在上海举办也引起公务机扎堆出入上海两大国际机场。

　　Shanghai’s two Airports, Pudong International, and Hongqiao International, experienced a new historic high in business jet traffic during the year 2012, as 1,780 business jets flew in and out of those two International Airports during that year. That number of business jets represents an increase of just over 13% from the year 2011, and just over 92% from the year 2009. Passengers have considered business jets to be one of the most convenient means to Shanghai. More than 13,000 business jet passengers took advantage of Air Taxi convenience to fly into and out of Shanghai during the year 2012.

　　United States business executives ranked first in the number of business jet flights to and from Shanghai, with more than 600 business jet flights originating from the United States, representing just over 34% of the total business jets flying in and out of Pudong and Hongqiao. Business jets with flights originating in Hong Cong, Macau, and Taiwan, recorded a respectable second at Shanghai, scoring a total count of 346 business jet flights. Shanghai’s leaders have accelerated their goal of developing Shanghai into an International Financial Center. As a positive sign regarding Shanghai’s acceleration objective, most International Business Jet Corporations have established a second headquarters in Shanghai. Several recent events at Shanghai have contributed to the dramatic increase in the number of business jets utilizing Shanghai’s two International Airports. Within the first six months of 2012, the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE), one of only four Worldwide Air Exhibitions and considered to be Asia’s largest Air Exhibition, was held at Shanghai Hongqiao International, and drew more than 150 exhibitors and a countless number of attendees. Many business jets, filled with Indy Car Race Drivers, their crews, and avid Indy racing fans, were drawn to Shanghai Airports in 2012 for the purpose of attending the Formula One World Championship, which was also held in Shanghai. Shanghai’s International Airports are definitely creating their own impact on the business jet era.
