Airbus top business jet lands in China for charter flights (2)

Airbus has sold more than 20 business jets to China since its first sale in 2005, and it plans to sell five new ACJs in the greater China area each year over the next five years.
"China holds 25 percent of ACJ's total world sales, and the share will keep growing in the future," said David Velupillai, Airbus' Marketing Director for Executive and Private Aviation Department.
To boost sales in the Chinese market, the company has adjusted the cabin design of its jets sold to China.
The jets cater to the color and furniture preferences of Asian customers. Airbus also specially created the red wine-colored interior for the Chinese market, said Velupillai.
"We expect China will need 500 to 600 business jets in total by 2015 with an average eight percent GDP growth," said Zhang Peng.
"It might take over the United States to lead the global business jet market within 10 years," he said.
