5. Best performing air transport industry

China’s air transport industry made a total profit this year of 11.8 billion yuan ($1.73 billion) as of November, defying a forecast by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) that the industry would lose $11 billion globally this year.

The figure, which includes profits from both airlines and airports, released by CAAC on its website on December 14, shows that China’s airlines have weathered the global financial crisis without too much turbulence.

A strong domestic market and the government's policy support have contributed to the profits, analyst said.

5、民航經營狀況全球最佳

截至2009年11月，中國民航業總贏利達118億元（17.3億美元），而根據國際航空運輸協會的預測，全球民航業去年虧損可達110億美元。

這一數據于去年12月14日在民航總局網站上公布，其中包括航線和機場兩部分的利潤額。該數字表明中國民航業平穩渡過了全球金融危機。

分析人士稱，國內市場的需求強勁和政府的政策支持是該行業贏利的關鍵。
