The International Air Cargo Forum is underway in Amsterdam. Industry representatives are optimistic about future development, particularly in China.

The international air cargo dealers hope to get their own share of the China market. Their confidence in China mostly comes from the country's sound economic recovery, which has prompted strong demand for air cargo.

An official from Turkish Airlines, says it wants to expand in China and India because of the growth potential there.

It plans to open new cargo flights from Istanbul to Guangzhou, following the flights to Beijing, Shanghai and Hongkong.

Industry experts have heaped praise on China's air cargo businesses in recent years. They believe their performance will create favorable conditions for the international air agencies to explore new markets jointly.

Experts say the world air cargo industry will triple in the next 20 years. And China's air cargo capacity is expected to be 40 percent higher than the world average.

But British press has pointed out that if China wants to step up in the world air cargo industry, it needs to improve and integrate service and industrial chains.
