High over china

Flight attendants offer drinks aboard Sichuan Airlines on way to Chengdu, in Sichuan province, China, yesterday. As one of Asia's fastest-growing markets for air travel, the nation has rolled out the red carpet for foreign investors to take stakes in domestic carriers, a senior civil aviation official said. Earlier this year, China raised the foreign investment limit for Chinese airlines from 35 percent to 49 percent. There are about 20 domestic carriers operating in China.Dec 16, 2002
