Particularly the shortage of flight personnel and the shortage of usable airspace are two big bottlenecks restricting the development of civil aviation in China.

China will purchase more than 100 aircraft each year in the 11th Five-Year Plan period (2006-10).

The airline business is not a very profitable one because the capital cost needed is huge.

Every year in the next five years, the country will add more than 100 planes, meaning we will need more than 1,000 pilots. We will face great pressure in training good pilots for these planes.

We have felt that we are walking on thin ice in safety management.

Of course, in future we will integrate the fees collected on international routes and domestic routes.
