Civil aviation sector hails decade of safe operations

As of September, the nation's civil aviation sector had seen safe flight operations for 10 consecutive years and one month, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China. By the end of September, the sector had recorded a total of 86.69 million safe flight hours, according to the administration at a news conference held on Oct 15.

The country is the world's second-largest civil aviation market, with 660 million passenger trips last year, a rise of 7.9 percent from 2018, according to CAAC.

Since 2016, the civil aviation authorities have rigidly implemented a strategy to control the total volume of flights and implement structural adjustments to ensure the sustainability of the civil aviation industry, the administration said.

CAAC said it has consistently improved safety management and infrastructure construction to sustain the sector, and great efforts have been made to promote early warning of risks and the regulation of priorities based on related data.
