Nanchang boosts aviation industry, earning opportunity to host conference

The two events attracted nearly 100 suppliers, involved in fields of design, R&D and manufacturing. They laid a solid foundation for the park to boom, insiders said.

The 2019 and 2020 Nanchang Flight Convention, named Nanchang Air Show this year, had seen the signing of 42 projects with investment totaling 73 billion yuan. They had attracted about 340,000 visitors and increased the popularity of Nanchang's aviation sector, according to local media reports.

Nanchang also set up the Jiangxi Aviation Research Institute in June. It focuses on three fields: top research and planning of the aviation industry, aviation product design and R&D, advanced technology and innovative concept research.

The institute plans to provide consultation, advice and technical support for decision making in Nanchang's aviation development. It cooperates with domestic aviation organizations to study and solve major problems in fields such as airplane structures, materials, mechanical engineering and manufacturing.
