Three types of user are developing very fast, with the airspace being increasingly congested


Three ACCs(Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai) has been put into operation since 2003.

Two new ACCs(Chengdu, Xi’an) has been put into operation in 2013ATMB will integrate 20 Upper Control Areas into 7 greater Upper Control Areas in next five

years, with the purpose of reducing coordination and expediting traffic flow.


Traffic flow heavy in east, light in west

Highest density lies on Bohai Gulf, Yangtze Delta, Pearl River

Delta areas

Busy routes lies in east of Beijing-Xi’an-Chengdu-Kunming

3. Airspace CharacteristicsDevelopment of Flexible Use of Airspace in China


Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA)：Airspace is flexibly shared by different airspace users according to their specific demand

Fragmentation of airspace use should be reduced with highest efforts.

35 temporary routes established after Olympic Games since March 2009.

Flight delays reduced by 2% in relevant airports in Pearl River Delta(PRD) area, when V17 and V18 temporary routes open to civil flights particular for the city pairs from PRD to Eastern China.

Temporary routes are playing a very important role during big events and bad weather.


Temporary Routes：shared use of airspace between civil aviation and other users

Temporary Routes

Route X(Only For Domestic Flights)

Route V(For Both

Domestic & Int’l Flights)

Route W(Part of W

Routes For Both Domestic & Int’l

Flights)


On Aug. 1st, 2012, active release mechanism of temporary routes established, facilitating the shared and flexible use of temporary routes

20% of Total Air-

Route Length in

China


Route X Percentage

Route V Percentage

650 routes, of which temporary routes are 130
