Exciting news in the skies! China is set to roll out pilot programs for electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft in six vibrant cities: Hefei, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Chengdu, and Chongqing. This announcement was made by Sun Weiguo from the China Air Transport Association during a forum in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province.
These pilot programs mark a significant leap in China's burgeoning low-altitude economy, with local governments taking charge of managing airspace below 600 meters. This initiative aligns with the momentum gained since last year's Central Economic Work Conference, positioning 2024 as the inaugural year for advancing the low-altitude aviation sector.
The recent Airshow China in Zhuhai showcased the industry's strides, featuring a dedicated low-altitude economy pavilion. Song Zhiyong, head of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), highlighted the importance of building a robust low-altitude service and security system. Plans are underway to enhance airspace management and flight services in collaboration with local authorities, paving the way for innovative urban air mobility solutions.
Stay tuned as China paves the way for the future of urban aviation!
