Reporters Huang Jiao and Li Jintang learned from the site selection coordination meeting of Tianmu Lake General Aviation Airport Project yesterday that liyang city will build Jiangsu Tianmu Lake General Aviation Airport, and the site selection of the airport will be determined in Beishan Industrial Park, Bieqiao Town.
The site selection coordination meeting was organized by liyang city Municipal Government.
General aviation refers to aviation activities other than military, police, customs anti-smuggling flights and public transport flights, including industrial, agricultural, forestry, fishery, mining and construction, medical and health care, emergency rescue and disaster relief, meteorological observation, marine monitoring, scientific experiments, remote sensing mapping, culture and sports, tourism and other aspects of flight operations. Jiangsu Tianmu Lake General Aviation Airport is a strategic cooperation project between Shanghai Oriental General Aviation Enterprise Group and liyang city Municipal Government. Jiangsu Tianmuhu General Aviation Airport Co., Ltd. was incorporated, with the main goal of establishing a general aviation airport and Liyang General Aviation Industrial Park. Changzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government require Liyang to plan from a high starting point, speed up project implementation and boost economic development.
Leaders and experts from the Air Force, the Civil Aviation Administration of East China and related design institutes attending the coordination meeting believe that Liyang is located between the urban agglomerations in southern Jiangsu in the Yangtze River Delta and at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, and the establishment of a general aviation airport has a unique geographical advantage.
Su Jianghua, the mayor of liyang city, told the reporter that the general aviation industrial park platform planned by Liyang in Bieqiao Beishan Industrial Park is attracting the attention of foreign businessmen due to the confirmation of the Tianmu Lake general aviation airport project. Previously, Beihang University and the liyang city Municipal People's Government signed a general aviation industry science and technology cooperation agreement; Beijing Iridium Gersmann Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Zhongguancun Science and Technology Industrial Park signed an agreement on the research and development project of unmanned aerial vehicle, fixed wing and air-to-ground accurate observation system; Shenzhen Guowei Microelectronics and Jiangsu Zhongguancun Science and Technology Industrial Park signed the project agreement of Guowei East China R&D and production base. Recently, after forming a cooperation intention with a general airline in the United States, Liyang cooperated with Harbin Institute of Technology in all directions, and established the Advanced Manufacturing Research Center and the New Materials Research Center of Changzhou Research Institute of Harbin Institute of Technology in Liyang. At the same time, a private enterprise in Liyang is about to sign a contract with STEMME Aircraft Company of Germany to jointly produce sports gliders. All these will effectively promote the adjustment, transformation and upgrading of Liyang's industrial structure and promote a new round of economic development.
Around the construction of Tianmu Lake general aviation airport, our city is accelerating the construction of "one whole region, first-class in the country", so that the tourism format extends from mountains and rivers to air sightseeing. After the airport is completed, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Liyang and even the border of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces by plane. At the same time, the airport will also serve the surrounding tourism, making Liyang an aviation tourism hub.
