China drives air cargo boom

摘要

Chinese express and conventional air freight markets aren't as large and developed as the American markets, but they sure are growing fast. Anthony Fong, founder and advisor of U-Freight, a major Hong Kong-based forwarder, relates that he recently heard a remark by an airline executive that "nowadays, the trend is just to and from China — the rest of the world is not important anymore." "Actually, in the back of my mind, it's very accurate, but I don't want to offend the other countries," Fong said, half jokingly. Most air cargo and express industry players are also aware of the unique importance and growth of China for air traffic.
