As during the press conference, Li Xiao Peng (chin. 李小鹏), Minster Transport (chin. 交通部) and Head of the Administration of civilian Aviation of China (chin. 中国民用航空局), reported. China plans to become an global hub and an aviation power by 2050. This will be achieved by expanding and creating a network of world-class airlines and strengthening intercontinental connections at 3 major airports in:

• Beijing (chin. 北京, BeiJing) – flights to 133 countries and regions,
• Shanghai (chin. 上海, Shanghai) – flights to 142 countries and regions,
• Cantonese (chin. 广州, GuangZhou) flights to 97 states and regions.

As stated, the air hub is the main point (centre) of a modern comprehensive transport system, and the construction of a strong transport country forces the building of strong global hubs.

The number of airports in China serving more than 10 million passengers per year increased from 21 in 2012 to 39 before the 2020 epidemic. The 2 largest of them, in Beijing and Shanghai, are among the 10 largest airports in the planet and service more than 100 million passengers each year.

The 3 largest airlines in the country, i.e.

• Air China (chin. 中国国际航空公司),
• China east (chin. 中国东方南方航空公司) and
• China confederate Airlines (chin. 中国南方航空公司),

are among the world's leading airlines, have a strong and established position and ranks among the largest passenger traffic in terms of volume. They so have solid grounds for achieving their goals and ambitions.
