With rapid liberalization and the gradual easing of travel restrictions, China’s aviation market is experiencing remarkable growth. According to Eurobiz Magazine, Chinese airlines earned a record US$750 million in profits in 2004, contrasting sharply with losses of US$6-8 billion for U.S. airlines, and losses of US$500 million in Europe. Overall demand for air transport within China is growing at the rate of 10 percent a year, compared with 2 percent a year in the United States, notes researcher Zoe Chafe in the Worldwatch Institute’s Vital Signs 2005.
