The podcast discusses China’s efforts to open its aviation industry to global participation. The author highlights three key initiatives: the adoption of internationally recognised quality assurance programs for aviation part distributors, the integration of safety management systems into repair station regulations, and the development of a programme with the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA) to allow the use of parts removed from aircraft worldwide. These changes signal a shift towards a more open and internationally integrated Chinese aviation market. The author concludes that China’s aviation industry is rapidly recovering and aims to be a prominent player in the global aviation community.
