airlines and about 6.7 percent of all world traffic in 2007 (International Air Transport Association, 2008). See Figure 2.1.
To support that level of air transport, Chinese airlines used a fleet of roughly 1,350 large commercial aircraft and 60 regional jets in 2010 (World Aerospace Database). The large commercial aircraft fleet com-prises 55 percent Boeing airplanes and 43 percent Airbus airplanes. Most of the remaining 2 percent are McDonnell Douglas aircraft pro-duced before McDonnell Douglas’s merger with Boeing. The Chinese commercial fleet is approximately 20 percent the size of the North American–based large commercial aircraft fleet and just over 7 percent of the world fleet.
China’s commercial aviation market is dominated by the “big three”—Air China, China Eastern, and China Southern. These airlines were created by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) in 2000 and 2001 to rationalize the air transport market (Chung, 2003). They are all effectively controlled by the central government. Hainan Airlines is the largest private startup airline. Figure 2.2 shows the RPK distribution of all Chinese airlines.

not in the top 20 for international RPK. In total RPK, they held the 13th, 18th, and 21st positions (International Air Transport Associa-tion, 2008). This suggests that they are major world airlines, but their size is heavily dependent on the domestic market, which is protected from foreign competition, as most domestic air markets are. In the international market, their relatively smaller share of traffic suggests that they are not yet competitive with other international air carriers.
