China steps up aviation safety measures after 2023's deadliest year in global aviation since 2018, urging airlines and airports to address hidden risks and prevent future disasters.
Chinese authorities have urged assessments of aviation hazards to address hidden risks, from flight routes to runways, following the deadliest year in global commercial aviation since 2018.
In 2023, 318 fatalities were recorded in commercial flight incidents, the highest since 2018, according to the Aviation Safety Network.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has been issuing safety alerts to airlines and adjusting flight routes to mitigate risks, said official Shu Mingjiang.
Recent incidents include a Jeju Air crash in South Korea after a bird strike, killing 179, and an Azerbaijan Airlines plane crash.
Chinese airlines like Air China and China Southern Airlines are avoiding high-risk airspaces, as Western and Asian carriers largely bypass Russian airspace due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Airports in China have been directed to enhance bird strike prevention and conduct runway safety reviews. This follows a 2022 safety drive after a China Eastern Airlines crash killed 132 people in China's worst aviation disaster in nearly three decades. The cause of that crash remains under investigation.
