- 分析下列论证中存在的缺陷与漏洞，选择若干要点，对该论证的有效性进行分析和评述。 曾几何时，新生的民营航空公司被种种负面消息所困扰。曾经有人预言，首飞的奥凯将很难摆脱退出舞台的命运。然而，经过了一系列的调整甚至是挣扎，进入今年以来，民营航空已经明显展现出不同以往的发展态势，成为市场的领军者。 A航第一集团国际租赁有限责任公司与奥凯航空有限公司签署10架国产支线飞机“新舟60”融资租赁合同，而这个扩张速度超过了同期其他民营航空公司。我们有足够的理由相信，奥凯公司的机队规模即将进入同业的第一梯队。 武汉东星正式获得开通国际航线资质则更加引人注目。东星航空成为第一家获准可以进入国际航线市场的民营航空公司，目前该公司的东南亚国际航线也在筹划之中。在解决飞机运力后，未来还将开通新加坡、马来西亚、泰国等国际航线，打通以武汉为枢纽的空中国际化走廊。 在已经运营的民营航空公司中，各家都在寻找适合只属于自己的盈利模式。 东星民营航空公司老总介绍：“我们将和旅游公司合作，配备大量旅游车辆，可接送旅游团队。旅游和航空联合，是其他旅行社和航空公司无法比拟的优势。我们预计一架飞机每年的营运收入可以增长25%，这样我们就可以扭转亏损现状。” 春秋航空有限公司总裁就说过：“我不担心上座率，我们国家还有那么多人没有坐过飞机，特别是出去旅游的农民。”很显然这家航空公司对客源问题没有任何的担心，毕竟未来会有更多的农民会像商务人士一样成为他们稳定的客源。 华夏航空有限公司总部设在贵州，并在重庆设立了基地。目前该公司已开通31条航线，通航22个城市，初步搭建起了覆盖西南地区的支线航空网络，并计划在3年时间内在全国建立6个基地，形成覆盖西南、东北、华中和华东地区的支线航空网络，该公司也将成为国内客货运输航空网络最为庞大的航空公司。
