23-Jun-11 10:26 AM

Tibet Airlines, Tibet’s first airline, on 20-Jun-2011 received its public air carrier's licence from CAAC, after receiving approval from the aviation authority in Mar-2010. Tibet Airlines will be the first and only airline based in Lhasa when it launches operations next month and will benefit from the booming Tibet market.

China Air Show: China welcomes C919 to the world; manufacturers reaffirm committment to China market

23-Nov-10 1:17 PM

China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition (Airshow China) was held on 16/21-Nov-2010 in Zhuhai and showcased the rise of China’s civil aircraft manufacturer and also the growing importance of the Chinese civil aviation industry to international manufacturers and suppliers. A breakthrough for the event was rising domestic participation with Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) having a stand at Airshow for the first time. COMAC's C919 was the big news of the Airshow, racking up orders for 100 aircraft.

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.

Chinese airline consolidation: Second tier airlines in the sights of the 'Big Four'

29-Oct-10 4:57 PM

China’s fragmented airline industry is undergoing a shakeup. Merger and acquisition activity is intense – probably more so than any other aviation market in the world. 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.

Consolidation and high-speed rail squeezing out China’s second-tier carriers?

28-Jun-10 3:17 PM

China’s second-tier carriers are hard at work at present, rapidly expanding their domestic and (in some cases) international route networks. However, the vast majority of these airlines are now doing so under the control of the "Big Three" carriers and/or HNA Group, as consolidation accelerates in China. As such, China’s airline evolution is at a very interesting stage. Where previously the major airlines: 1) established considerable branch carrier networks to serve diverse geographic areas in China; and 2) eliminated brands of the acquired airlines, they now appear to be looking more strategically at segmenting the market, retaining the second-tier carrier brands, particularly those focused on tourism/leisure markets.
