Civil Aviation of China Transportation

Between 1949 and 1978, China invested several billion yuan to
construct and expand a group of airports, laying the foundation for
civil aviation in the country. Since the initiation of the policies of
reform and opening, a group of airports have been built and expanded
to satisfy the needs of economic development. By the end of 1998,
there were over 140 airports opened to civil airplanes. Of them, more
than 80 could accommodate large airplanes such as Boeing 777s, 767s,
757s, 747s and 737s, and A340s. By 1999, the total length of civil air
routes in China was 1.522 million km, 3.5 times that in 1978, and
1,122 air routes had been opened, 128 of which were international air
routes. The domestic airlines radiate from Beijing to all provinces,
autonomous regions and municipalities, all open cities, and border and
remote areas. The international airlines reach more than 50 cities,
including Tokyo, Bangkok, Jakarta, Paris, Frankfurt, Moscow, London,
New York and Vancouver.
