Small airports to get govt backing

Small airports are expected to receive government subsidies after being reclassified as public infrastructure under a new regulation.
The regulation stipulates that governments at all levels must take necessary measures to support airports from July 1.
China had 160 civil airports last year, and plans to have 244 by 2020.
