Chinanews, Beijing, Mar. 22 (By Zhou Yin) - After the execution of the
Sino-US Bilateral Agreement, the number of flights between China and the
United States and direct-flight cities will increase significantly.
The latest predictions of the Boeing Company indicate that the direct
flight market between the two countries will increase more than three
times in the next 20 years, with the number of direct-flight cities
reaching 53.
The company indicated that its 787 and 777s, which are not large-scale
planes, would serve this expanding market.
However, the Boeing Company stressed that the over 250-seat Boeing 787
was oil efficient and light, and that the 777 could fly 9,400 sea miles
carrying more than 300 passengers.
In addition, the Boeing Company also predicated that China would need to
purchase 2,300 new planes in the next 20 years, at a total cost of 183
billion US dollars. Meanwhile, the scale of China's plane fleet will
increase nearly four times, exceeding 2,800 planes and making China the
largest civil aviation market outside of the United States.
