In order to strengthen control over the aviation industry, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has decided to suspend the reception of applications for opening new airline companies before 2010 and set a stricter approval condition for the establishment of new airlines.
China's aviation industry has been growing by over 16% annually in recent years. This year, the total turnover of air transportation even increased by 19.6% compared with the same period of last year.
As the supervision department of the industry, CAAC clearly realizes that in order to ensure the industry develops in an orderly way, it must conduct a general control on the flight number, airline company market access and capacity increase.
In order to prevent the aviation industry from growing over rapidly and promote the sustainable development of the industry, CAAC has issued a special circular, adding more and stricter conditions for new airlines, but it keeps its support and encourages the establishment of airlines in the west and northeast part of the country. In addition, it has also specified seven stern conditions on controlling flight capacity.
