It was also a year that witnessed the Group’s proactive and progressive execution of the strategy of “growing stronger and larger to go global”, making progress in fields of safety, market exploration, service improvement, product research and development and managerial reform by capturing the favourable opportunities emerged following the macro-economic rebound and the growth in tourism market fuelled by increased consumer spending. And also in this same year, the Group achieved encouraging operating results for another consecutive year and accomplished its mission of providing information security service for Shanghai Expo and Guangzhou Asia Games. 2011 is the first year of the 12th Five-Year Plan period for the Mr. Xu Qiang Group. It is also a year that is crucial to leveraging on our past Chairman experience and preparing for future development. The favourable policies promulgated by the Chinese government and designated to build the nation into a civil aviation power, to accelerate the development of the tourism industry, to revitalize the logistics industry and to promote the development of information technology will underpin the growth of market demand and promote the sustained development of the industry, thus presenting a rare historic opportunity for the Group to achieve leapfrog development. On the other hand, the Group’s development may be exposed to notable external challenges due to (among others) the further restructuring of the commercial airlines and their urgent needs to reach out to the world, the impact of high-speed railway system and other means of transport on air transport market, the liberalization trend of the GDS market and the free boundary problem of the IT industry as a result of technological advancements. 4 TravelSky Technology Limited • Annual Report 2010 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT To this end, based on the achievements accomplished during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the Group will continue

Some possible reasons for the 2002 consolidations are inferred through analysing the numbers and facts of the late 1990s and early 2000s. We conclude that the consolidations may be a natural response to the changes that accompanied airline deregulation in China. Keywords: Deregulation, airline mergers, China 1. Introduction China’s airline markets have attracted the attention of many major international carriers, but have largely failed to attract the attention of academics. Literature on China’s airline markets remains relatively sparse, owing to the country’s opacity in aviation policies and the limitations of data availability. The dramatic changes that took place in China’s airline industry in the past 20 years, from a period of strict regulation and control to being relatively uncontrolled and loosely supervised, resulted in chaotic and unexpected outcomes. Those within the industry had two opposing attitudes towards these changes: some applauded them and called for further reforms, while others resisted and demanded a return to regulation.
