Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 24 - The Central Air Traffic Management Office has recently issued the "Functional Requirements for National, Provincial, and Municipal Low-Altitude Flight Integrated Supervision and Service Platforms (Version 1.0)" and "Information Interaction Standards for National, Provincial, and Municipal Low-Altitude Flight Integrated Supervision and Service Platforms (Version 1.0)" to further standardize the construction of low-altitude management systems.
According to a responsible official from the office, these documents will unify interfaces for airspace management, flight information, and flight service modules, while standardizing functional requirements such as flight declaration, alerts, and coordinated response, thereby enhancing dynamic supervision and services for low-altitude flight activities nationwide. Concurrently, the office will organize specialized training for relevant personnel from regional air traffic coordination committees, as well as provincial, autonomous regional, municipal, and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps authorities, systematically improving their capabilities in planning, construction, operation, and management. This initiative aims to transition low-altitude management system construction toward a new phase of "standardized, orderly, and safely controllable" high-quality development.
The official emphasized that standardizing low-altitude management system construction must prioritize risk control, integrating core functions such as low-altitude air traffic control and joint supervision, while enhancing regulatory features like aircraft registration, personnel certification, airspace approval, and electronic fencing to achieve unified management and control of both manned/unmanned aircraft and state/civil aviation. It must adhere to a national unified approach, designing a three-level ("national—regional/provincial—municipal") platform architecture to enable "one-stop processing" and "full-process supervision." Data sharing is critical, with a unified cross-departmental data foundation vertically connecting national, provincial, and municipal platforms, and horizontally linking systems from departments such as cybersecurity, development and reform, industry and information technology, public security, natural resources, emergency management, market regulation, meteorology, and civil aviation, ensuring on-demand flight information sharing and coordinated flight activity oversight. Additionally, technological empowerment will drive deep integration of AI with low-altitude management, enhancing capabilities in airspace planning, trajectory prediction, conflict warnings, approval processing, and flight coordination, while expanding new regulatory service models for manned/unmanned aircraft.
The official stated that the next steps will focus on safety management, comprehensively building systems for mechanisms, policies, regulations, operations, talent, and infrastructure to continuously improve airspace management efficiency, strengthen risk prevention, and steadily promote the healthy and orderly development of the low-altitude economy.
