What We Do

Come Meet the Demand in China

The Chinese aviation market is poised for rapid growth.

In 2023, domestic passenger traffic surpassed pre-pandemic levels, more than doubling from 2022 to reach 590 million. Over the next 20 years, air traffic is expected to grow 5.3% annually—well above the global average of 3.6%.

This surge is driving strong demand for civil aviation suppliers and services. In response, the CAAC has prioritized industry expansion, aiming for over 270 civil airports and 17 million annual takeoffs and landings by 2025. Plans also include green manufacturing, new energy aircraft, and commercializing technologies like unmanned and electric aviation.
