The first ISTAT China conference was a sound success attracting more interest than the organisers have hoped. Some 250 delegates represented Chinese lessors, banks and law firms as well as Western banks, lessors, appraisers and OEMs. Only a handful of airlines attended and none of the Chines OEMs were present.

China has seen tremendous growth in all sectors over the past decade, the airline industry and the sectors around it being no exception. The graph below shows the percentage growth in the in-service airline fleet in China as compared to the percentage growth in the global airline industry. The notable trend here is that between 1999 and around 2003 the two seemed to be moving similarly, around this time the Chinese fleet bottomed out at around -2.0% growth.
Early last year I had the chance to visit Taiwan, and more specifically Taipei. It’s a fascinating city populated by wonderful people but unfortunately my trip was all too short and soon I had to leave. My flight out to Seoul left during the morning so I headed out to Taoyuan airport nice and early. Check in and security was a breeze and I was soon sat, coffee in hand, watching the world go by.
