Unlike China’s civil aviation transportation market which has significantly slowed down in the wake of global economic crisis, China`s aviation MRO market maintains its strong growth momentum in 2009 and will surely continue its rapid ascent. China is emerging as the ‘big driver’ behind the growth in aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) business globally. By 2010, China`s MRO market will represent 5% of the world`s total or 1/3 of all Asian MRO activity.
