China’s spectacular manufacturing growth has left air freight carriers scrambling to develop their activities in the country. But it could be a case of too much, too soon.
兩年前，從南京或上�？者\貨物至歐洲，每公斤運費高達4美元;如今的價格約為2.50美元。南京祿口機場副總經理徐勇表示：“在此項業(yè)務上仍有錢賺的航空公司非常少見。”
Two years ago, flying goods from Nanjing or Shanghai to Europe cost up to $4 a kilogramme; today it the price is about $2.50. “Very few carriers are still making money here,’’ says Xu Yong, vice-president of Nanjing airport.

As fleet expansion continues to outpace demand, carriers are adding to congestion problems at some Chinese airports. “We have just far too many planes now”Mr Xu warns.
