According to the Boeing World Air Cargo Forecast, world air cargo traffic will grow 4.7 percent per year over the next 20 years, with domestic China expanding 6.7 percent per year. In such a promising market, Chinese express companies are competing on delivery speed and service quality, which accelerate the purchase of their own aircraft for competitive edges, and Boeing 757-200 converted freighter is one of their choices.
