Air traffic and the aviation industry have grown rapidly on the
Chinese mainland in the two and a half decades since China's open
door policy. Accession to the WTO will further stimulate trade and
foreign direct investment (FDI), intensifying the demand for air
cargo services. It will also open up the Chinese economy to foreign
participation in the transportation and logistics sectors, making
these sectors more competitive and efficient. This book provides a
systematic and comprehensive study of China's air cargo industry as
well as its policy evolution. It covers the sources and
destinations of air cargo in mainland China and Hong Kong: whence
it comes and where it goes to. The major hubs of the transportation
network - Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou - are
discussed one by one. The virtual aspects of the network at these
hubs in terms of IT applications, preparedness, and needs are
examined and compared. Though the subject matter of this book is
air cargo, there is considerable coverage of the aviation industry
and policy on the mainland and Hong Kong. Changes have been
happening so fast there are few books and publications that cover
them systematically and comprehensively. Readership includes
business executives in airfreight companies, airports and airlines,
logistics specialists, aviation university lecturers and students.
In the foreseeable future the alliance will become an increasingly
important feature of the airline industry around the world. Despite
its growing importance to airline management, aviation policy
makers, and research literature, there has not been much rigorous
analysis of airline alliances in economics or management
literature. It is clear that the authors of this book are among the
first researchers to do serious analytical studies and quantitative
analysis on airline alliances. Given the growing importance of
alliances, there is a clear need for a book that gives a
comprehensive and analytical treatment of key aspects of airline
alliances. In this book, they accomplish just that. This book
presents the past history and current status of airline alliances,
reasons why alliances are being formed, analyzes the questions 'why
are alliances likely to remain a key fixture of the airline
industry in the foreseeable future?' and 'what implications do
alliances have on carrier management and public policy makers', and
quantifies the key economics effects of airline alliances.
