(c) Foreign currency risk The Renminbi is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions involving Renminbi must take place either through the PBOC or other institutions authorised to buy and sell foreign exchange or at a swap centre.
The Group has significant exposure to foreign currency risk as substantially all of the Group’s obligations under finance leases (Note 34) and bank and other loans (Note 32) are denominated in foreign currencies, principally US dollars and Japanese Yen. Depreciation or appreciation of the Renminbi against foreign currencies affects the Group’s results significantly because the Group’s foreign currency payments generally exceed its foreign currency receipts. The Group is not able to hedge its foreign currency exposure effectively other than by retaining its foreign currency denominated earnings and receipts to the extent permitted by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or subject to certain restrictive conditions, entering into forward foreign exchange contracts with authorised banks.
The Group also has exposure to foreign currency risk in respect of net cash inflow denominated in Japanese Yen from ticket sales in overseas branch office after payment of expenses. As at 31 December 2008, the Group had two outstanding forward option contracts of notional amount ranging from USD64 million to USD128 million (2007: USD35 million to USD70 million). The contracts are to buy USD1 million and USD1.5 million respectively (or USD2 million and USD3 million respectively if the spot exchange rate at settlement date is below certain specified strike rates) by selling Japanese Yen at certain specified rates on monthly settlement dates until the maturity of the contracts in 2011. Both contracts have a knock-out clause where the contracts early terminate upon the exchange rate of Japanese Yen to US dollar reaching a certain knock-out level. For the year ended 31 December 2008, a net loss of approximately RMB111 million (2007: a loss of RMB5 million) arising from changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward option contracts has been recognised in profit or loss. At 31 December 2008, the fair value of these currency forward option contracts was financial liabilities of approximately RMB116 million (2007: RMB5 million).
As at 31 December 2008, it is estimated that if an appreciation/depreciation of 7.5% in exchange rate of US dollar against Japanese Yen, with all other variables held constant, would decrease/increase the Group’s loss after tax and accumulated losses by approximately RMB63 million.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(e) Credit risk The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash
equivalents and trade receivables.
Substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with PRC financial institutions, which management believes are of high credit quality.
A significant portion of the Group’s air tickets are sold by agents participating in the Billing and Settlement Plan (“BSP”), a clearing scheme between airlines and sales agents organised by International Air Transportation Association which has insignificant credit risk to the Group. As at 31 December 2008, the balance due from BSP agents amounted to RMB641 million (2007: RMB1,238 million). The credit risk exposure to BSP and the remaining trade receivables balance are monitored by the Group on an ongoing basis and the allowance for impairment of doubtful debts is within management’s expectations. Further quantitative disclosures in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables is set out in Note 30.
