ZHUHAI, China--()--NetJets Business Aviation Limited (“NetJets China”), a joint venture among NetJets and a consortium of Chinese investors, announced today it has obtained its operating permit from the Civil Aviation Administration of China. This approval moves NetJets China closer to the final step in its certification, which will be approval of its operating certificate. Then NetJets China will be able to begin providing private jet services for customers in China.

“We are pleased with the continuing progress we are making in obtaining approval to operate in China, and are appreciative of the good relations we have with the government’s regulatory agencies” said NetJets China Vice Chairman Eric Wong. “The granting of this permit positions NetJets China for final approval, which we hope to receive in the next few months.”
