A total of 85 billion yuan ($12.4 billion) is expected to be invested in civil aviation sector infrastructure this year to bolster areas of weakness in construction, according to the civil aviation regulator.
Last year, 81 billion yuan was invested in the sector and was used on such projects as building six airports and relocating airports, Feng Zhenglin, head of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said at the administration's annual working conference in Beijing on Monday.
By the end of last year, the number of civil transportation airports reached 235, up from 229 in 2017.
