Helicopter services taking off in China
China DailyA helicopter flies along the low-altitude flight route linking Shenzhen's downtown area and Guangzhou Haixinsha Park to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, at the end of October. China's first cross-provincial designated low-altitude passenger transport route was launched in August, connecting Shanghai Pudong International Airport with the Kunshan City Terminal. Operated by Shanghai Newsky Helicopter Co, the air taxi service includes "one-on-one" service after landing, with the whole process, including airport ground transportation, taking approximately an hour. This will significantly enhance the country's core competitiveness in the sector and China is foreseen to take the lead in forming a comprehensive low-altitude development system, said a research report of CITIC Securities.
