China's new aviation regulations are expected to take effect in May. This will pave the way for private and corporate owners of small planes to get permission to fly around the country, an important step in opening the domestic market.

The lack of flight regulations for small planes has not prevented the private jet market from taking off in China.

The new regulation states that plane owners need only apply for flight permission from air traffic control bureau the day before departure.

The new rules will spur small plane sales. Nanjing Light Aircraft Company says it already has 30 orders for five-seat AC-500 planes, mostly from domestic private companies.
