Abstract
The article offers information on several international events related to the airline industry in 2016 and 2017 including the World Routes forum in Chengdu, China, the Routes Asia in Manila, Philippines, and the Routes Europe in Krakow, Poland.
The article offers information on the World Routes airline/airport network development event to be held in Beijing, China, from September 13 to 15, 2009.
The article analyzes the market viability of China to lead economic recovery and help in the revival of the air transport sector in 2009. It highlights the significance of China's hosting the World Route Development Forum in Beijing. Data from China for August, highlighting positive signs of growth in industrial output, are explored. Also noted are the problems and challenges facing Chinese airline companies.
The article reports that the Chinese government has decided to resort to cash bailouts amid growing speculation that China Eastern Airlines will be merged with Shanghai Airlines. China's airline industry was going from strength to strength with world-leading traffic growth rates until earlier in 2009, when demand started falling. China Eastern is the most in need of help, being in the worst financial state of the major Chinese carriers. Some smaller China carriers also face financial troubles.
