The Dutch and Chinese governments on
Tuesday signed an agreement to work together ‘more intensively’ in the aviation
sector.
This is good news for the Dutch aviation industry, according to
economic affairs minister Henk Kamp, who is on the second day of a trade
mission to China.
‘Normally Dutch companies are in competition with Chinese
companies in trying to do business in China,’ he told broadcaster Nos. ‘This
will become easier with an agreement between the two governments.’
China has
the fastest growing aviation sector in the world and its ambitions are big. Not
only are Chinese airlines aiming to increase their fleet by 2,000 aircraft in
the next 20 years, they are also developing their own aircraft, the Comac C919.
They are also developing their know-how in space travel at a fast pace, Nos
says.
The agreement creates opportunities for Dutch companies such as Fokker
Elmo which makes electrical systems for aircraft.
