Air Crashes Won't Deter Reform of Airline Industry

China is set to continue its planned reforms in its civil aviation sector. Chinese aviation authorities are also looking at intensifying air safety and security measures, including management improvement, implementation of inspections and safety evaluations, and adding advanced technologies.

China is set to continue its planned reforms in its civil aviation sector, despite recent air crashes in April and May involving two major Chinese airlines.

"The reshuffling is to go on as scheduled," said Bao Peide, deputy director of the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC).

The CAAC, which oversees the domestic airline industry, is waiting for the State Council approval of its restructuring plan that involves the merger of nine major State-owned airlines into three groups, he said.

"We see the reform as an effective remedy to help domestic civil aviation enterprises sharpen their competitive edge to better adapt themselves to the market as well as looming foreign competition," said Bao. "So we shall definitely carry it through."
