Hong Kong is one of Asia's main business hubs, with a busy private aviation scene to match. Executives, families and owners fly from here to mainland China, Southeast Asia and beyond. Private jets here use the Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre (HKBAC) at Hong Kong International Airport, which has its own customs and immigration.

How we chose: We looked at each company's own website, its fleet or services, where it operates, and its record in our directory of 21,000+ aviation companies. The Flying Engineer has been online since 2012. Companies cannot pay to be on this list or for their position. Featured companies on our directory are always labelled.

Below are seven companies that fly, manage or arrange private jets from Hong Kong, with facts checked in October 2026. For more firms based in the city, see our Hong Kong aviation directory.

1. Sino Jet

one of the Best Private Jet Companies in Hong Kong

Headquarters: Beijing and Hong Kong Founded: 2011 Fleet Size: 43 aircraft at the end of 2025 (Asian Sky Group), nearly 50 managed by September 2026 Key Aircraft: Gulfstream G650 series, Gulfstream G700, Bombardier Global 7500, Dassault Falcon 7X

Sino Jet has the largest business jet fleet in Asia-Pacific. Asian Sky Group's 2025 report ranked it first in the region for the seventh year in a row. The company is part of Hualong Aviation and has bases in Beijing and Hong Kong.

Sino Jet says over 95% of its fleet is large-cabin jets, with more than 20 Gulfstream G650s. It added its first Gulfstream G700 in May 2026 and a second in September 2026, according to AIN. These ultra-long-range jets can fly non-stop from Hong Kong to most major cities in the world.

The company runs aircraft management, charter, ground support and luxury travel services. It was the first operator in mainland China to reach IS-BAO Stage III, a top safety standard for business aviation.

2. TAG Aviation Asia

TAG Aviation Asia - Private Jet Companies in Hong Kong

Founded: 2006 (Hong Kong operations) Fleet Size: Not published for Asia; TAG manages more than 60 aircraft worldwide (AIN, 2024) Specialties: Aircraft management, charter services, maintenance

TAG Aviation Asia is the Hong Kong arm of Swiss-founded TAG Aviation. It holds a Hong Kong Air Operator Certificate, so it can fly charter on Hong Kong-registered aircraft. It also runs an FBO in Macau.

The Asian fleet has grown again after a slow few years. In late 2024 TAG added a G550, a Global 6000 and four Global 7500s in Asia. In March 2025 it told AIN that more Global 7500s and a Gulfstream G700 were joining its charter fleet. TAG called this a turning point after four stagnant years.

  • Full-service aircraft management

  • Maintenance and technical services

3. Metrojet Limited

Metrojet Limited - Private Jet Companies in Hong Kong

Founded: 1995 Fleet Size: Not published Specialties: Aircraft management, maintenance, charter

Metrojet is one of Hong Kong's oldest local business jet companies. It belongs to the Kadoorie Group, the family group behind The Peninsula Hotels and CLP.

Maintenance is its biggest strength. Metrojet has run a maintenance hangar at HKBAC since 2001 and is a Gulfstream Authorized Warranty Repair Facility. It also runs Metrojet Engineering Clark, a maintenance base in the Philippines that opened in 2012. Its Hong Kong maintenance station has passed audits by the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department and the US FAA.

VistaJet is not based in Hong Kong, but its jets fly in and out of HKBAC often.

VistaJet sells flight hours, not aircraft. Members buy a set number of hours each year and get access to the whole fleet at a fixed rate. Parent company Vista ordered 40 Bombardier Challenger 3500s in February 2026, with options for 120 more. It received its first Global 8000 in April 2026.

  • Pet travel program

Its main skill is Greater China flying, where permits and slots can be hard to get. We could not load its website in October 2026, so confirm current services directly.

Diana Chou, a long-time figure in Asian business aviation, founded L'VOYAGE. Jolie Howard joined as a shareholder and became CEO in 2021, according to AIN. The company is known for special occasion flights and for flying pets with their owners.

  • Aircraft sales and acquisition support

How to Choose the Right Private Jet Provider

Price is only one part of choosing a private jet company in Hong Kong. How often you fly and where you go matter just as much.

Flight frequency comes first. If you fly now and then, on-demand charter through a broker like L'VOYAGE gives you choice with no commitment. Frequent flyers may do better with VistaJet's membership hours. Aircraft owners should look at the management teams at TAG Aviation, Metrojet or Sino Jet.

Destination patterns matter too. If most of your trips go to mainland China, firms with strong mainland ties, such as Sino Jet, Deer Jet, BAA and Hongkong Jet, can help with permits and handling. For global trips, operators with worldwide networks may give better coverage.

Never cut corners on safety. Look for recognized standards like IS-BAO (International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations) and ask about crew training. Good operators maintain their aircraft above the legal minimum.

Finally, check the company's financial health. You want a partner that can ride out slow years.

Cost Considerations for Private Flights in Hong Kong

Private jet charter companies in Hong Kong usually charge in one of a few ways.

Charter Rates

On-demand charter is the simplest option for occasional flyers. Most trips are priced per flight hour. The rate depends on:

  • Aircraft size and model
  • Flight distance and duration
  • Season and demand
  • Positioning flights (if the aircraft must be flown to Hong Kong first)
  • Airport fees and handling charges

As a rule, the hourly rate rises with cabin size. From cheapest to most expensive, the main classes are:

  • Light jets (such as the Citation CJ3)
  • Midsize jets (such as the Hawker 800XP)
  • Heavy jets (such as the Gulfstream G450)
  • Ultra-long-range jets (such as the Global 6000 or G650)

Ask several operators for a written quote for your exact trip. Many charge a minimum number of hours per day, even for short flights. Other costs can include:

  • Airport landing and handling fees
  • Catering (which can add up for special requests)
  • Ground transport
  • Crew hotels for overnight trips
  • Positioning costs

Membership Programs

Some Hong Kong private jet companies sell memberships or jet cards that work out better for regular flyers. VistaJet's Program is the best known. These plans need a large upfront commitment but usually give you:

  • Guaranteed availability (often with 24 to 72 hours' notice)
  • Fixed hourly rates without positioning charges
  • The same aircraft types and cabin layouts each time
  • Priority booking

Ask for the minimum yearly hours, deposit and cancellation terms in writing before you sign.

Aircraft Management

For aircraft owners, management from private jet companies like Metrojet or TAG Aviation covers:

  • Crew hiring and training
  • Maintenance planning and oversight
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Chartering the aircraft when the owner is not using it

Fees depend on the aircraft type and how much it flies. Charter income can offset part of the cost if demand is steady. Ask for a full yearly budget, not just the monthly fee.

Comparison of Key Services and Amenities

Service and cabins set the best private jet charter companies apart.

In-Flight Experience

Cabins vary a lot between providers. VistaJet keeps the same cabin style across its fleet and runs its own wine and dining program.

Deer Jet mixes Chinese hospitality with international standards. Its largest VIP airliners have lounges, bedrooms and other home-style spaces, more like a flying apartment than a normal jet.

On shorter regional flights, brokers like L'VOYAGE focus on personal touches, such as each client's favorite drinks and meals.

Ground Services

HKBAC already offers fast private customs and immigration, often done in minutes. Top private jet companies add more on top of that.

TAG Aviation and Metrojet can arrange a personal host who meets clients at the car and handles the formalities.

BAA and Hongkong Jet focus on cross-border trips. Their ground teams can book helicopter transfers and luxury cars.

Additional Services

Leading private jet companies in Hong Kong also offer extras beyond the flight:

  • Metrojet's link to The Peninsula Hotels can help with hotel and travel packages
  • L'VOYAGE offers theme flights for celebrations and marriage proposals
  • Deer Jet offers access to events and venues through its concierge team
  • VistaJet's "Adventures in the Sky" program plans in-flight activities for children

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book a private jet from Hong Kong?

For normal charter, 48 to 72 hours is usually enough to find an aircraft and sort out the details. At busy times like Chinese New Year or big events, book 1 to 2 weeks ahead. Membership programs usually promise an aircraft with 24 to 72 hours' notice, even at peak times.

Can private jets land at all airports in Asia?

No. Private jet companies in Hong Kong can reach far more airports than airlines, but limits still apply. Some airports have no customs for international flights, some have short opening hours and some ban private flights. Your provider should tell you about these limits when you book.

What happens if my meeting runs late or my schedule changes?

Most private jet charter companies can change a schedule with a few hours' notice. Extra costs may apply if the crew runs out of duty time or the change affects the next booking. Tell your provider about changes as early as you can.

Is it possible to fly privately between Hong Kong and mainland China?

Yes, with a few things to know. Flights between Hong Kong and mainland China count as international, so they need permits and customs checks. Hong Kong private jet companies with strong mainland ties, like Sino Jet, Deer Jet, BAA and Hongkong Jet, often get approvals faster.

How does the carbon footprint of private jets compare to commercial flights?

Private jets produce more emissions per passenger than a full airliner. Many private jet companies in Hong Kong now offer carbon offset programs. Ask your provider how it calculates emissions and which offset projects it uses.

Final Thoughts

The best private jet companies in Hong Kong stand out for service, safety and skill with hard trips. Each takes a different approach: charter, membership or full aircraft management. Pick the one whose strengths fit your travel, not just the lowest price or the best-known name. The right private jet company in Hong Kong can become a long-term travel partner.
