CAAC held its monthly plenary session of the Aviation Safety Committee on September 9 to analyze the current situation of civil aviation safety and make further work arrangements. At the meeting, Administrator of CAAC Song Zhiyong stressed that the upcoming 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China would be highly relevant at the critical moment when the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups have been making strides on a new journey toward building a modern socialist country in all respects and marching toward the second centenary goal. The entire civil aviation sector should firmly safeguard the bottom line of aviation safety at this critical time, which could also test the political competence and responsibility of civil aviation. To this end, we should understand the safety situation, better perform our political responsibilities and put safety first to strictly ensure aviation safety. At the same time, we should unswervingly follow the instructions made by President Xi Jinping on safe production and civil aviation safety to ensure the absolute safety of aviation operation and people’s lives.

Lyu Erxue and Hu Zhenjiang, Deputy Administrators of CAAC, as well as Liu Fang attended the meeting.
