Air China: "In 2016, the global economy will continue to face uncertainties, and the Chinese economy will stay in the "new normal". With the adjustment of economic structure and the upgrade of household consumption, China's civil aviation business is expected to maintain a high growth rate. On the other hand, intensified industrial competition and exchange rate fluctuations will also bring major challenges." Source: Company statement, 30-Mar-2016.
