The overall fixed-base operator market size in APAC is witnessing slow growth as compared to other regions such as North America and Europe, which is mainly attributed to the presence of a smaller number of business as well as private jets across the region. The fixed-base operator market is observing slight growth in the Southeast countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, and Macau.

The aviation industry is growing in dynamically in the region, especially in developing economies, however, the fixed-base operator market is witnessing slow growth in the region. The key reason behind slow growth rate of FBOs in the region is the lack of business aviation infrastructure in China, India, Japan, and Malaysia. However, in the recent years, these countries are observing steady rise in business aviation, owing to which the number of fixed-base operator market players are rising strongly in the region.
