MJets Company Limited, a leading full-service private jet and general aviation provider in Thailand, has announced an investment in WingsOverAsia Pte Ltd, a Singaporean private jet service provider. This investment marks a steppingstone for MJets to expand its network more comprehensively across Southeast Asia and other Asian countries, aligning with the growth trends in the private jet industry in the region, which continues to experience increasing demand.
Mr. Kirit Shah, Co-owner and Director of MJets Limited, stated, “MJets commenced operations in Thailand in 2007. In 2010, recognizing the potential and growth opportunities in the personal aviation sector in Thailand, the company expanded its business to its fullest capacity by establishing the country’s first Fixed Base Operator (FBO) facility, which was voted the best FBO in Asia for nine consecutive years by Aviation International News (AIN). Currently, MJets operates in seven main business segments: 1) Aircraft Charter Services, consisted of 2 Cessna Citation Bravo, a Cessna Citation X, a Glufstream GV, and the latest Gulfstream G550 2) Air Ambulance Services, 3) Aircraft Management, 4) Private Jet Terminal and VIP Lounge Services, 5) Aircraft Maintenance Services, 6) Comprehensive Ground Handling Services and FBO Facilities, and 7) Aircraft Brokerage and Consulting Services. MJets is considered one of the largest and most comprehensive service providers in Southeast Asia. Additionally, it has extended its aviation business to other Asian countries, including India, Myanmar, and Cambodia.”
Mr. William Ellwood Heinecke, Co-owner and Director of MJets Limited, added, “With the continuing upward trend in the growth of the private jet and general aviation market in Southeast Asia, as predicted by Mordor Intelligence, a market research organization, which forecasts a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.36%, the market value is expected to rise from USD 463.39 million in 2024 to USD 906.39 million in 2029. This growth is driven by the tourism sector and the increasing number of high and ultra-high net worth individuals seeking superior travel experiences, as well as the rise in business activities such as meetings, conventions, and inter-organizational networking events in the region. All these factors contribute to the growing demand for personal aviation services, representing significant business opportunities. Consequently, MJets aims to increase investment and expand its aviation network in Asia this year and in the future, reinforcing its leadership in the general aviation industry and striving to become the number-one comprehensive private jet service provider in Asia.”
Mr. Natthapatr Sibunruang, CEO of MJets Limited, stated, “Given the stable performance and positive outlook for the general aviation industry in Southeast Asia, MJets has invested in “WingsOverAsia,”
a leading private jet and general aviation company with extensive network in Southeast Asia, along with holistic private jet facilities and services in Singapore. This movement not only lays a foundation for MJets to expand its business operation in the regioon, but also serves as a long-term investment plan to drive the business further and become a world-class player within the industry. With this synergy, we strongly believe that we will be able to achieve the expected goals. Thus, we are intended to expand our operations to cover all countries in Southeast Asia by 2026.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Ng Yeow Meng, Founder and Managing Director of WingsOverAsia, stated, “Founded in 2009, WingsOverAsia went from pioneering Asia’s first private aviation social network and concierge, to designing and building Asia’s first purpose-built private aviation service facility based at Seletar International Airport, Singapore.
