I'm lucky enough to frequently travel that way for work (hanging off my boss's shirttails) and China simply isn't set up very well for private jets. India is very similar.

I understand from my dealings in China that it's culturally unacceptable to get caught using general aviation.

It's a booming market just very secretive, a friend of mine flies a Gulfstream for a very wealthy Chinese chap. He says its downright scary flying into some of the smaller airports.

Surely they should both be using the royal wing? I thought it was mostly used by the Foreign office.

I saw Philip Hammond along with a few minions in the CCR when he was foreign secretary. On personal travel (guessing that's what it is) I would imagine the VIP services at LHR aren't supposed to be available to them?

Boris Becker was on my LHR-OTP flight the other day. Sat at the back of CE with a hat on and slept. Was met by two ladies at the top of the jetty with a crumpled ‘Mr Becker’ sign.
