An Air China airliner stis at a boarding gate in Beijing
A pilot walks around an Air China passenger jet doing a routine preflight equipment check at Beijing's new international airport on June 29, 2009. China increased jet fuel prices this week, the second in as many months, by a massive 22 percent, and comes just days after the International Air Transport Association announced that the world's airlines lost more than $3 billion in the first quarter of 2009 due to weak travel demand and lower freight volumes in the global recession.
