I have seen that this kind of topic has never been discussed. As i am very interested in chinese aviation industrie, as they are growing at a rapid pace. Southern China Airlines, i have heard will be one of the launch or the launch customer for the A318. And it will not be long before they go for the A380. I remember chinese airlines in past with most Russian jets. Know the airlines there are ordering thick and fast. B737 NJs are becoming a good market in China. Also new airports are being built all over China, in Howang, a new airport opened recently.
What are your views on the growing aviation industrie in China??? I am leaving for China in 2 weeks, just to have a look. So i was just interested in your views.

Airbus is being a good customer for the Chinese market. Boieng knows that the recent silly incident with the spy-plane has put in danger the possible adquisition of more Boeings (30 has been cancelled) it seems that the US administration has a lot to do in terms of aviation, in the future visit of the US president to China soon. I think the chinese economy is booming despite problems and will duplicate the number if passengers using plane. The A380 is a good product for the Chinese market.

Due to the continues growth of the Chinese population,China plans to build at least another 40 airports all over the country in the next 20 years.

RE: Chinese Aviation Industrie
Yeah….i am interested in the chinese aviation industry…..it is very interesting because:
– they have aircraft over there that we don`t have yet……and that are coming to europe soon…….e.g. the Do328JET of Hainan Airlines.
The Chinese Aviation Industry must be very confusing!!

You will flying in big jets with no separation between classes. New planes, terrible service and dull ground facilities. Although they are trying to cope with the western standards they still have a long way to go. Enjoy your trip.
