The boom of internet is causing another industrial revolution. It is necessary for Chinese airlines to develop E-business in order to keep their competitive advantages. China Southern Airlines is the first Chinese airlines to enter E-business sector and is fairly successful in Chinese civil aviation market. However, comparing with British Airways, current E-business strategy in this company quite falls behind. After a strategic analysis, it is clearly that E-business is a profitable strategy for China Southern Airlines and should be applied further. It is quite urgent for China Southern Airlines to enlarge and improve its E-business strategies so that it can consolidate its leading position in this market segment. Therefore, some reasonable future strategic choices are put forward and a recommendation is given. On the other hand, the explosion of Chinese economy provides a rapid growth of air traffic world widely. British Airways and other foreign airlines would increase their profits significantly from Chinese air market.

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Instructor Plans: Transportation Professions / Air Transportation / Logistics, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Wildau (Wildau Institute of Technology), course: Aviation Management 2012, language: English, abstract: Actually, a country where flying is affordable for only top 8 percent of the population is beneath any notice. But not in the case of the country called China. Recent years have seen a thriving Chinese economic development which has brought a huge demand for aviation business. The aviation market in China is expected to double in size about every eight years. As expansive as the market may seem today, it is still in its infancy. As a result, business aviation, private aviation, emergency, industrial aviation are expected to embrace for substantial growth potential. Today, the Chinese economic miracle has been fuelled in large part by a flood of foreign investment. However, the influence of Chinese government is extremely present and restricting the aspiring industry. Since China has been a socialist country, the leaders in Beijing play a predominant role in nearly every single sectors of Chinese economy. In contrast, government policies have been very supportive of the industry and, unsurprisingly, it has yielded positive results. The aim of this research paper is to analyze present capability and potential of Chinese aviation industry and to identify its future challenges. The key questions to be answered in this context are: What are recent developements of Chinas aviation policies focusing on airline consolidation and how does the domestic airline and manufacture framework look like? Do endemic manufacturers have the ability to become a serious competitor to persist on the global stage and what are current challenges of Chinese Aviation industry? In order to answer these questions I am goiig to examine the evolution of Chinas aviation polices focusing on airline consolidation and the efforts in constructing a global and competitive manufacturer environment. Based on the historical development of Chinese aviation industry I will assess present market conditions and possible perspectives of aviation in China. An overview of the enormous air transport growth including aviation manufacturer expansions is given. In the second step I am going to clarify whether the emerging aviation industry in China has the potential to become a serious global competitor on the manufacturer market. Furthermore I will assess selected current collaboration programmes of the Chinese aviation manufactures in order to answer whether Chinas aviation industry will be able to spread ones wings anytime soon.

Air traffic and the aviation industry have grown rapidly on the Chinese mainland in the two and a half decades since China's open door policy. Accession to the WTO will further stimulate trade and foreign direct investment (FDI), intensifying the demand for air cargo services. It will also open up the Chinese economy to foreign participation in the transportation and logistics sectors, making these sectors more competitive and efficient. This book provides a systematic and comprehensive study of China's air cargo industry as well as its policy evolution. It covers the sources and destinations of air cargo in mainland China and Hong Kong: whence it comes and where it goes to. The major hubs of the transportation network - Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou - are discussed one by one. The virtual aspects of the network at these hubs in terms of IT applications, preparedness, and needs are examined and compared. Though the subject matter of this book is air cargo, there is considerable coverage of the aviation industry and policy on the mainland and Hong Kong. Changes have been happening so fast there are few books and publications that cover them systematically and comprehensively. Readership includes business executives in airfreight companies, airports and airlines, logistics specialists, aviation university lecturers and students.
