CCTV News: This year's government work report proposes to promote the safe and healthy development of emerging industries such as commercial aerospace and low-altitude economy. Since the beginning of spring, Zhejiang has continuously expanded the application of new low-altitude economic scenarios, and general airport routes have continued to increase, and more and more drone logistics have entered normal operation.
On March 18, the first low-altitude traffic ring line connecting "Shanghai Pudong-Jiaxing Nanhu-Suzhou Jinji Lake" was officially put into operation. The maximum speed of helicopters used in the route is 230 kilometers per hour, the maximum range is over 560 kilometers, and the traffic efficiency is more than three times that of ground traffic.
Dongyang City in Jinhua launched the "Air View Hengdian" low-altitude tour project. Visitors can take a small plane and overlook the Yuanming New Garden, Qinwang Palace and other scenic spots at a low altitude.
In Zhoushan City, takeaway drones depart from the take-off point of Dinghai Port Terminal and flew to Panzhi Island in just 5 minutes. On-site staff then deliver the takeaway to customers.
At present, Dinghai has opened direct flight routes for three southern island drone logistics to and from Panzhi, Dong'an and Damao, and has put into normal operation. It has safely distributed more than 460 express delivery orders such as medical supplies, fresh fruits, and more than 300 flights.
According to the plan, Zhejiang Province will build 20 Class A general airports and 150 public drone takeoffs and landing sites by 2027, promoting the application of low-altitude aircraft in multiple scenarios such as cultural tourism, agriculture, and medical care, and creating a highland for low-altitude economic development.
