摘要

When oil prices reached a record high of more than $147 per barrel in July 2008, our passenger and cargo airline customers were suffering under the tremendous economic strain because of their inability to pass on increased fuel costs to the travelling public or to freight forwarders. Since then, the air-rnline and aircraft leasing industry has put significant pressure on the engine and airframe manufacturers to develop new technology aircraft-engine combinations that burn less fuel, or use alternative fuels, to mitigate the effect of future oil price increases.
