China airlines’ profits decline
July 11th, 2012 - 7:27 pm ICT by IANSBeijing, July 11 (IANS) Profits of major Chinese airline companies have declined in the first half of 2012, it was reported here Wednesday.
China Southern Airlines Co. Ltd. said its net profits attributable to its equity holders will fall by over 50 percent in the first half, compared with the same period last year.
The carrier attributed the decline to the slowdown of China’s economic growth, China Daily reported.
