　　The Chinese market for long-distance routes has grown by over 140 percent in the past five years, but national airlines have not been buying enough big planes, the report said.

　　Darren Hulst, a marketing¹ executive² for Boeing Company Northeast Asia, said the market would continue to grow and that wide-body aircraft are more cost-effective in this scenario³.

　　The Chinese people made some 120 million outbound trips in 2015, making the country the largest outbound travel market.

　　China needs bigger aircraft to meet demand: BoeingBoeing is not the only aerospace⁴ giant aware of the potential. Last Wednesday, Airbus started building a new facility in north China's Tianjin to deliver its A330 aircraft. Airbus said it would be the first "completion and delivery center" for wide-body aircraft outside Europe.

　　"We're very confident that in the next 10 or 20 years, there will be strong demand for aircraft in China's aviation⁵ market," said Eric Chen, president of Airbus China.
