Low-cost aviation has wide prospects in China, expert

Chinanews, Beijing, July 12 �C ��Compared with China��s 9.6 million
square kilometers of land territory, China��s total air field reaches
10.9 million square kilometers. However, under the current air traffic
management system, a large part of the air resources haven't been
effectively used. This has become a bottleneck constraining China's
aviation industry from expanding further.��
The statement was made by Tian Sen, chairman of the China Modern Society
Research Center. As a professor much interested in China��s aviation
reform, Tian said that changes should be made in China��s air traffic
management system. He said Chinese airline companies and relative
official departments should work together to think of a way to
effectively use air resources, in order to boost domestic aviation
industry and make it work for the nation's economic development.
He also urged that China should promote low-cost aviation, better utilize
air resources and create a favorable environment for the development of
low-cost aviation, which he said would have a promising future in China.
Tian, now getting on for eighty, has just returned from a lecture tour in
Britain. In recent interviews given to the Beijing local media, what he
talked most often was the low-cost aviation. He said that low-cost
aviation had now accounted for one-third of the market share in Europe
and the Americas, and within the next five years, the figure could climb
to even half of the market share. Many Asian countries also have begun to
promote low-cost aviation. It can be said that low-cost aviation is an
inevitable trend for the world��s aviation industry, he predicted.
However, as a large country, China lags behind in developing its low-cost
aviation. He said that China��s aviation transportation capacity appears
to be excessive. However, this seemingly excessive transportation
capacity only indicates that effective demands are insufficient at
present. To put it in other words, the expensive airfare has constrained
the aviation market from expanding further. If low-cost aviation is
promoted in China, its aviation market will be activated. At the same
time, more common people will also be able to afford to travel by air,
enjoying the benefits of China��s opening-up and reform policy.
