China frees up low-altitude airspace for private citizens  

發改委:中國將鼓勵私人飛行 考慮低空對個人開放

國家發展改革委員會基礎產業司司長黃民在20日的《國務院關于促進民航業發展的若干意見》新聞發布會上表示，中國政府將“積極促進通用航空產業的發展”，包括低空空域對個人的開放，具體政策正在研究當中。

CNS (Beijing) -- The Chinese government plans to open up low-altitude airspace to individuals, as one of the measures to stimulate the civil aviation industry, said Huang Min, an official from China's National Development and Reform Commission on July 20. The plan is taking shape.

Individual use of low-altitude airspace includes private airplanes and is part of civil aviation, said Huang, who emphasized that beyond providing citizens more opportunities to fly, the top priority is safety.

"Our commission will collaborate with related authorizes to accelerate reform of the airspace management system and make full use of aerospace resources," said Huang.
