Wuxi-based Asian Express Aviation Co has been getting some good attention recently after its Pilatus PC-12 aircraft was regularly featured in the hit Chinese television series Hao Xian Sheng (To Be a Better Man), Wuxi Daily reported.

Asian Express only gained its business certificate last April, making it Wuxi's very first general aviation company offering commercial and chartered flights. Its services include trips, skydiving, aerial weddings, crop-dusting and aerial photographs. The company owns a current fleet of 12 PC-6 and PC-12 aircraft valued at 250 million yuan ($38 million), which are built by Switzerland Pilatus Aircraft Co, a world-class manufacturer for turbo-prop aircraft and an investor in Asian Express.

A staff member said that Asian Express is the biggest aviation company in East China in terms of its 200-million-yuan registered capital and the fleet of high-end aircraft. He added that the company will open charted flights to northern Jiangsu and offer special services for high-end business people and emergency medical transport.
