Sources at Boeing China Incorporated said Tuesday that the company has trained more than 11,000 Chinese aviation professionals so far.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Boeing's China debut. Major progress was made especially in the past eight years, when Boeing invested millions of dollars in China's aviation infrastructure sector and trained more than 5,000 pilots and othercrew members.
"As a major step to back up China's aviation industry, we will further stress the importance of the training of aviation professionals," said Dong Yuguo, a senior official with Boeing China.
