US business aircraft brokerage Avpro and Hong Kong aviation consultancy Asian Sky have teamed up to bolster presence in their respective home markets. Avpro handles about 90 aircraft transactions a year, while Asian Sky offers a range of business aviation solutions to the fast-growing private aviation markets of Greater China and the Asia-Pacific region.
The partnership will enable each company to utilise the other's geographical connections to develop its business. "Given the rapidly diversifying demand for business aviation aircraft and services throughout China and across the Asia-Pacific region, this strategic partnership helps us to increase our presence, specifically on transaction consultation in these markets," says Avpro managing director Chris Ellis.
The partnership will entail joint marketing and promotional campaigns. Eventually employees will work alongside each other in the respective Asian and US offices.
Hong Kong-based Asian Sky was launched earlier this year to provide guidance and support for business aviation-related activities, including aircraft transactions, management operations, maintenance and completions.
Asian Sky is affiliated with Seacor Capital and Avion Pacific, which have invested heavily in aviation infrastructure in Asia.
