In 2023, China's civil aviation air traffic control system ensured a total of 9.86 million takeoff and landing flights, a year-on-year increase of 87.3%. The civil aviation air traffic control system achieved zero accidents and zero accident symptoms in air traffic control safety throughout the year. This is the news learned by the reporter on the 11th from the 2024 Civil Aviation Air Traffic Control System Work Conference and Safety Work Conference. "In 2023, the normal flight rate in China reached 87.8%, an increase of 6.15 percentage points from 2019." Ma Bing, Deputy Director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said at the meeting that the civil aviation air traffic control system shortens flight distance and saves fuel consumption by optimizing backup flight routes and detour procedures, enabling diversion processes and flow management system diversion modules. In 2023, we will save over 210000 tons of fuel consumption and reduce 681000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. In terms of improving control capabilities, Ma Bing introduced that in 2023, a batch of control capability improvement projects have started one after another, with a localization rate of over 80% for newly added main air traffic control equipment. Wen Xuezheng, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Air Traffic Control Bureau of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, stated that in 2024, the civil aviation air traffic control system will firmly uphold the safety bottom line of air traffic control, promote the improvement of air traffic control services, accelerate the construction of smart air traffic control, and take multiple measures to enhance air traffic control support capabilities.
