Airbus representative recounts 'amazing' trajectory of career

Chen Juming says his "secret joy" is to sit and count Airbus aircraft as they take off, land and taxi at Beijing Capital International Airport.

His office overlooks the airport and every plane he counts is a measure of his success after 20 years in the civil aviation industry.

Better known as Eric Chen, president and CEO of Airbus China, he still can't quite believe the trajectory his life has taken.
