Diana Chou is promoting the Asia Pacific GA industry

L'Voyage founder heads up newly formed Asian aviation specialist

Diana Chou has become chairman of the newly launched Dragon General Aviation Group (DGA), a specialist company aiming to advance growth and expertise in Asia's growing general aviation sector. DGA will hold interests in L'Voyage; the official Greater China representative for Bell Helicopter, Aerochine; and South East Asia aviation financing and consulting company Aero Infinity. Together, the group will cover the full range of general aviation aircraft, from jets to turboprops and helicopters, and operate through six offices in Beijing, Hong Kong, Ningbo, Shanghai, Singapore and Zhenjiang. Chou says: “DGA Group will be the only company in Asia Pacific to offer a spectrum of solutions for general aviators in the region.

“Compared to 19,000 general aviation airports in the United States for instance, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan which represent a geographical size similar to the US, have only 399 including temporary landing points. Many market segments are under-served, especially for low altitude airspace. Forming the DGA Group gives investors an opportunity to leverage Asia's growth potential and join us on our mission to advance the growth and expertise in the region's general aviation sector.”
