With the largest landmass of all the continents, and a population of over 4.6 billion people, Asia has a massive travel industry. From major carriers to local airlines, and charter operators to cargo carriers, the continent boasts a wide array of aircraft, operators and liveries. Focusing on East and Central Asia, this book showcases the carriers and aircraft from a variety of countries, including China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. With over 170 images, the majority of which are previously unpublished, this first of two volumes covering Asian airliners shows off the colourful liveries of some of the biggest operators, such as Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways and Korean Air, and highlights the various types of aircraft flown, from the smallest commuter craft to the largest airliners in the world.
