ROTARY-WING MARKET<br />
The limitation of low altitude airspace still hinders the growth of the entire aviation industry in <strong>China</strong>, including<br />
the rotary-wing market. 57% of the total fleet is turbine, with 519 aircraft in total. Piston follows with 364 (40%)<br />
aircraft. Despite the turbine fleet being larger by 17%, the replacement cost of turbine helicopters is worth 97%<br />
of the market share.<br />
48% of the turbine fleet is clustered in coastal provinces including Guangdong, Shanghai and Shandong, with main<br />
mission segments including offshore in Guangdong, emergency medical service and search and rescue in Shanghai. For<br />
piston helicopter, nearly half are training aircraft, with sightseeing, agriculture and multi-mission segments making up<br />
the rest. Foreign OEMs dominate the <strong>China</strong> market, despite the government policies aimed at promoting Chinese OEMs,<br />
including tax benefits. Chinese manufacturers AVIC only account for 7% of the turbine market share.<br />
