- Initial Reason for Starting:
-
In order for Asia to develop further and be able to play a more important role in the international community during the 21st century, the major cities that function as the brain and the heart of Asia must ally as leaders and strive to establish even closer cooperative relationships.
- Outline of Main Projects:
-
- Promotion of Development of a small to medium-sized Jet Passenger Plane
Although the demand for air travel is likely to increase in Asia, there have been no plans to develop an original Asian aircraft, and aircraft and their parts are all produced by European or American aircraft manufacturers. The development of a small to medium-sized Asian passenger jet is being promoted in response to the demand.
