The China-ASEAN Civil Aviation Cooperation and Exchange Center was officially
launched at a recent forum on industry cooperation in Nanning city, China's
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, according to the Xinhua news agency.
Pan Yixin,
executive vice chairman of the China Air Transport Association (CATA), said the
center aims to strengthen the connectivity of the air route network linking
China and ASEAN and promote the coordinated development of aviation-oriented
cultural tourism.
It will also
build platforms for China-ASEAN civil aviation cooperation, hold aviation
technology and equipment exhibitions, and develop demonstration areas for civil
aviation capacity building, Pan added.
The center
was jointly initiated by 15 organisations, including the CATA, China Southern
Airlines, and Singapore Changi Airport.
Since China
and ASEAN formally established dialogue relations, the annual passenger traffic
volume of China-ASEAN civil aviation has jumped from 295,000 to 26.58 million,
a roughly 90-fold increase.
