China's rapidly expanding economy has seen the country's aviation sector grow at a blistering pace over the past few years on the back of an ever-growing middle class that has plenty of money to spend.
International aviation is also projected to handle 38 million tonnes of air cargo by 2014, up 46 percent from 26 million tonnes in 2009.
