MEETING UNIQUE AVIATION DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES WITH AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH

摘要

ICAO's aviation system Block Upgrades provide an excellent approach to defining the evolution of future ATM systems in States and regions all over the world, according to Wang Liya, Director General of the Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB) of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). The Block Upgrades' development coincides with a period of rapid development in China's civil aviation sector. After nearly three decades of growth, the Chinese aviation industry now ranks as the second largest air transport system in the world and forecasts call for continued robust growth over the next 15 to 20 years. However, industry growth brings many challenges and Wang says a "comprehensive overhaul"- in terms of technology and vision - is needed to meet China's civil aviation demands, support an integrated transportation system, keep pace with the worldwide growth of aviation and contribute to the development of international civil aviation.
