Civil aviation system reform completed

On July 8, Civil Aviation Administration of China transfer the authority of management of four civil airports in Gansu Province, Lanzhou, Dunhuang, Jiayuguan and Qingyang, to the provincial government.

This marks a successful completion of China' aviation system reform which has lasted two years. As a result, a new civil aviation administration system has been basically established which can cater to China's socialist market economy and civil aviation development, follow the rule of development of the industry and stand up to the international standard.

The decision and planning of the reform was made in 2002 by the central government. The reform has served as an engine for the take-off of the industry. Now China's civil air transportation turnover ranks the fifth in the world.
