CHINA VERKEHR LUFTFAHRT
An Air China Boeing 747 sits on the tarmac of Beijing Capital airport 03 August 1997. The takeover of McDonnell Douglas by Boeing will give the US aviation industry a major boost in the Chinese market where it faces increasing competition from the European conglomerate Airbus Industrie, with China expected to buy 240 aircraft between 1996 and 2000 and having so far only placed orders for 70.
