"Taking an overseas trip in our chartered flights has become more popular as wealthy businessmen want privacy with their friends and family," Wang said.

He said chartered flights have become trendy among wealthy businessmen for meetings, private activities and family trips.

"I'm not sure if our plane has been charted for the London Olympics, but we have increased our charter flight services for businessmen both in China and overseas to meet the increasing demand," said Wang Jian, board secretary of China Eastern Airlines.

Wang Jian said the charter flight service enables groups of individuals to take long-distance trips in peak seasons without worrying about booking a plane ticket.

"I would like to try the charter flight service in the future for family trips, which will definitely be more enjoyable," said Guan Hongsheng, a businessman from Wenzhou, Zhejiang province.

Guan added that private jets have been popular abroad for some time, and it is a trend that will become increasingly common in China as wealthy people seek more privacy.
