Asia
FBOs are taking some time to grow in the Asian continent, but they have appeared most notably in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur & Shanghai. This is mainly due to the immaturity of the private & corporate aviation sector in Asia where there still exist very few of these aircraft when compared to USA & Europe. However several companies do offer "FBO Services" at airports throughout the region, making use of existing facilities, the main point being the provision of credit for overseas operators.

Famous quotes containing the word asia:
“So-called Western Civilization, as practised in half of Europe, some of Asia and a few parts of North America, is better than anything else available. Western civilization not only provides a bit of life, a pinch of liberty and the occasional pursuance of happiness, it’s also the only thing that’s ever tried to. Our civilization is the first in history to show even the slightest concern for average, undistinguished, none-too-commendable people like us.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“I have no doubt that they lived pretty much the same sort of life in the Homeric age, for men have always thought more of eating than of fighting; then, as now, their minds ran chiefly on the “hot bread and sweet cakes;” and the fur and lumber trade is an old story to Asia and Europe.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“[N]o combination of dictator countries of Europe and Asia will halt us in the path we see ahead for ourselves and for democracy.... The people of the United States ... reject the doctrine of appeasement.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
