There were 2,127 aircraft registered for general aviation at the end of the year, up 8.9 percent from the previous year, but much slower than the 18 percent growth rate in 2014, according to data from CARNOC.com, one of China's largest civil aviation web portals.

Li Lei, an analyst at Minzu Securities Co, said boosting China's general aviation sector will require support at the policy and regulatory level, and infrastructure construction.

Sun is positive about the outlook for China's general aviation, and said the company will open more physical stores in the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Sichuan and Fujian.

"Just like the development of China's private car fleet over the past decades, the market for private jets in China will take off eventually," he said.
