Both countries are at an advantage in the buoyant aviation economy, with China’s air traffic expected to double every five years and India seeing an increase of 29% in the number of flights taken from its airports this year said reports.
But the growth is exposing a lack of airports and inadequate facilities, forcing them to invest rapidly in developments
to prevent stunting their economic booms, officials from both countries told the Asian Aerospace International Expo
and Congress in Hong Kong the report added.
“The number of airports in China is insufficient and there is a need for more development in the future,” said Shao
Daojie, deputy director-general for airports, in the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China as quoted by AFP.
Shao also said 73 airports were now under construction across the country, bringing a total of around 190 airports by 2010, however, their profitability remains in question.
