Country's low-altitude economy aims sky high

Courier and logistics company SF Holding has rolled out a variety of drones for delivery services, with a maximum payload of 25 kilograms and a flying distance of 100 km.

Zhu Keli, founding director of the China Institute of New Economy, said: "The low-altitude economy has entered a golden period of development, with its applications continuously expanding in areas such as logistics and tourism, which will drive the coordinated development of related industrial chains."

"The low-altitude economy industrial chains encompass low-altitude aircraft manufacturing, operational services, airspace management, airworthiness certification, quality supervision, and safety management," he said.

Zhu emphasized the significance of strengthening the development and utilization of low-altitude airspace resources and accelerating the establishment of supporting infrastructure.

It is of vital importance to improve airspace management policies, reinforce policy support and guidance, encourage enterprises to increase investment in R&D and technological innovation and strengthen the formulation of regulatory policies, Zhu added.

Yang Sumei, an associate professor at Guangzhou Maritime University, said the low-altitude economy serves as an important driving force for cultivating new quality productive forces and has huge market potential.

More efforts should be made to establish applicable rules and standards to better regulate the fast-developing sector and to advance the construction of low-altitude infrastructure and intelligent management and operating platforms, Yang said.
