All these have brought forth development opportunities for the Group to utilize its experiences and technological advantage. On the other hand, the constantly changing industry landscape further added to the market pressure on the Group. New technologies, new products, new operating models and new business models have been emerging at an increasingly hectic pace. Overseas competitors have been continuously penetrating the domestic market. The industry also saw augmenting concentration in channels. The needs of commercial airlines for information technology solutions have been changing.
