The China-New Zealand Aviation Industrial Park will be established in the Pinggu District of Beijing.
"The industrial park will cover the whole industry chain, from manufacture to training," Key said.
The two companies will jointly build the P-750 airplane, one of Pacific Aerospace's main models, in Beijing.
"BAIC Group will provide full solutions for residents' transportation," said Xu Heyi, chairman of the Beijing General Aviation and the group.
BAIC Group can be more competitive by entering the general aviation industry, he said. It chose a New Zealand partner because of that country's general aviation industry's long history and advanced technology.
The single-engine, propeller-driven P-750 received type certification from China in 2012.
