China Stepping Into Aviation Industry / Leading Aircraft Manufacturers Would Face Competition "Made In China" In Near Future - Report
(NSI News Source Info) February 26, 2009: In this March 30, 2007 file photo, workers gather for a ceremony marking the start of final assembly of the homegrown ARJ-21 regional jet at the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory in Shanghai, China. Aviation Industry Corp. of China, which makes the homegrown ARJ-21 jet and Beijing's fighter jets, says it will recruit its first executives from abroad, an unprecedented step for the secretive world of Chinese military contractors, amid efforts to create a commercial aerospace supplier to compete with Boeing Co. and Europe's Airbus.
AVIC is looking for vice presidents for 13 subsidiaries who have experience at multinational companies in marketing, research and production, said Ding Zhiyong, a company spokesman.
He said most posts were in civilian areas such as helicopters and cargo planes but some were in defense, though he declined to give other details.
The company says it plans to formally launch the recruiting efforts Thursday, Feb. 26.
