Chinese cargo growth moderates in 2011 following post-recession recovery

3-May-11 3:53 PM

The spectacular rebound in China’s airfreight demand of 2009 and 2010 has slowed in 1Q2011. Chinese air cargo volumes increased by 2.0% in Mar-2010 to 489,000 tonnes, according to CAAC. Domestic cargo, which accounted for 66% of the total, increased 2.7% to 321,500 tonnes. Regional (Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) cargo volumes increased 2.2% to 19,500 tonnes and international cargo increased 0.6% to 167,500.

Chinese airline fleet to DOUBLE to 5,000 by 2015 - CAAC

22-Nov-10 2:41 PM

The CAAC has come out with an extraordinary prediction this month: Chinese airlines will nearly double their fleet size to as many as 5,000 aircraft by 2015. In the shadows of a major international air show on home soil, one might expect some bullish sentiment from the hosts. But the comment, by CAAC Head Li Jiaxiang, that the nation's domestic carriers will have an expected combined fleet of 4,800-5,000 aircraft in just five years (from 2,600 at present) is a breathtaking assessment. Even if it's only 50% accurate, aircraft manufacturers big and small are in for a bonanza.

In the space of a few short years, the majority of China’s second tier airlines have, at least partially, become owned or controlled by one of the "Big Three" carriers and/or HNA Group, as consolidation accelerates in China. In this report, CAPA reviews what’s fuelling the feeding frenzy and who the targets are.
