Professionals needed to boost exports of aircraft

International recognition of China's airworthiness standards hoped for

Civil aviation authorities should increase the number of trained airworthiness certification professionals to help boost exports of Chinese aircraft, according to an industry insider.

Tang Jun, deputy general manager of AviChina Industry and Technology Co Ltd and a national lawmaker, told China Daily on the sidelines of the fifth session of the 12th National People's Congress in Beijing that airworthiness certification is a major obstacle hindering overseas sales of Chinese aircraft.
