CCTV News:On October 22nd, the State Council held a press conference on the development achievements of transportation in the 13th Five-Year Plan. Feng Zhenglin, director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, introduced at the meeting that the transportation scale of the civil aviation industry in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" has grown rapidly, the security situation is generally stable, the service quality has been steadily improved, the support capacity has been significantly enhanced, the deepening reform has been comprehensively promoted, the overall development of the industry is in line with the planning expectations, and its comprehensive strength is at the forefront of international civil aviation, and it is striving to achieve a leap from an air transportation power to an air transportation power.
First, the scale of transportation has grown rapidly.During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China’s civil aviation still maintained a relatively fast development speed under the increasing downward pressure of the domestic economy. 2015— In 2019, the total turnover of civil aviation transportation, passenger traffic and cargo and mail traffic increased at an average annual rate of 11%, 10.7% and 4.6% respectively. China’s civil aviation transportation scale has been ranked second in the world for 15 years in a row, and the gap with the first has been narrowed year by year.
Second, the accessibility of the route network has been greatly improved.Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the Civil Aviation Administration has actively served the national strategy, supported local economic and social development, guided airlines to optimize the route network layout, and continuously improved the route network. By 2019, there were 234 domestic navigable cities and 4,568 domestic routes (including 111 Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan routes); There are 167 cities in 65 countries and 953 international routes.
Third, the industry’s safety level continues to lead the world.China Civil Aviation adheres to the bottom line of safety, adheres to "zero tolerance" for potential safety hazards, lays a solid foundation at the grass-roots level, works hard on basic skills, and carries out in-depth work style construction with "respect for life, respect for regulations and respect for duties" as its core, thus greatly improving its safety governance capacity. By the end of September this year, the national transport aviation has been flying safely for 121 months and 86.69 million hours, ensuring air defense safety for 18 consecutive years.
Fourth, the infrastructure support capacity has been significantly enhanced.Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", in accordance with the principle of moderate advancement, efforts have been made to improve the functions of international and regional hub airports, vigorously enhance the capacity of large airports, and enhance the support capacity of small and medium-sized airports. A number of regional airports and general airports have been newly built, and three world-class airports in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, 10 international aviation hubs in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Xi’ an, and 29 regional hub and non-hub transport airports have been built in an all-round way, with wide coverage and reasonable distribution.
Fifth, the quality of transportation services has steadily improved.During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the Civil Aviation Administration vigorously improved the normal level of flights, and the normal rate of flights has greatly increased from 67% at the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period to 81.6% in 2019, exceeding 80% for two consecutive years. For five consecutive years, we launched a special campaign on service quality, focusing on "paperless" flight, opening 12326 supervision and complaint telephone number, and implementing the ladder rate standard for ticket refund and change, so as to create a better travel experience and service quality for passengers.
The sixth is to deepen reform and comprehensively promote it.During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, we will adhere to the problem orientation, promote development through reform, and promote the in-depth development of industry reform. Ten aspects, 40 special reform tasks and 158 reform measures were identified, forming a "1+10+N" overall framework for deepening civil aviation reform. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", 1,544 reform tasks have been arranged, from 2017— The completion rate of reform tasks in 2019 reached 93.6%, 94.5% and 91.3% respectively.
