                                            Despite rising fuel costs and the economic slowdown, China’s aviation
                                            industry is following ambitious expansion plans. The forecast is that it will
                                            become the world’s next second largest market for new commercial aircraft.

                                            According to the key player projections, Asia will need 185,000 new pilots
                                            in the next 20 years to keep its fleets flying. With added pressure on the
                                            training supply chain, and rapidly increasing automation, some are asking if
                                            real flying skills are being eroded.

                                            It’s predicted that Asia’s private jet market could generate around US$40
                                            billion over the next decade.

                                            In contrast to the ongoing increases in passenger traffic, a sluggish global
                                            economy coupled with high aviation fuel costs are hurting air freight
