DUBLIN - The world's No. 2 aircraft lessor SMBC Aviation Capital expects the recovery of air travel both to, from and within China to dominate aviation this year with global recessionary risks localized, Chief Executive Peter Barrett said on Wednesday.

"I think there are some potential recessionary challenges, but I think they will be more localized," he added.
