China's Air Travel Boom

BBC World Service - Business Daily, China's Air Travel Boom

The coming pilot shortage and tourism bonanza as a billion Chinese take to the air.

As a billion Chinese take to the air, Ed Butler asks travel writer Simon Calder whether the world's tourism industry can cope, while Mariko Oi reports from the Singapore Airshow on the scramble to train up enough pilots.

Plus interviews with Chris Goater of the International Air Transport Association, and Dr Zheng Lei of the Centre for Aviation Research at Surrey University.
