BEIJING, March 11 (Xinhua) -- Chinese airlines need more wide-body aircraft to satisfy growing demand for long-distance outbound travel, according to a report issued by Boeing on Friday.
The Chinese market for long-distance routes has grown by over 140 percent in the past five years, but national airlines have not been buying enough big planes, the report said.
Darren Hulst, a marketing1 executive2 for Boeing Company Northeast Asia, said the market would continue to grow and that wide-body aircraft are more cost-effective in this scenario3.
The Chinese people made some 120 million outbound trips in 2015, making the country the largest outbound travel market.
China needs bigger aircraft to meet demand: BoeingBoeing is not the only aerospace4 giant aware of the potential. Last Wednesday, Airbus started building a new facility in north China's Tianjin to deliver its A330 aircraft. Airbus said it would be the first "completion and delivery center" for wide-body aircraft outside Europe.
"We're very confident that in the next 10 or 20 years, there will be strong demand for aircraft in China's aviation5 market," said Eric Chen, president of Airbus China.
