【Digital techs power China's smart civil aviation industry】
The booming digitalization trend is driving China's endeavor of building a smart civil aviation industry to boost sustainable development.
To give full play to digital technologies, civil aviation authorities will integrate the "smart" concept and technologies into industry growth in the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).
The move to create smart civil aviation is expected to provide new room for industry development and drive high-quality and high-efficiency growth of this sector, with digitalization as the key driving force.
Driving digital transformation
Since 2010, China's civil aviation sector has remained the world's second-largest in terms of passenger throughput.
The aviation industry generates and processes massive amounts of data along its long industrial chain, making it naturally more adaptive to the wave of digitization. The application of digital technologies is of great importance to ensuring safety, efficiency and sustainable growth.
The CAAC is committed to making the entire industry smart by integrating new-generation digital technologies into the whole industry -- from air travel, air logistics and customs clearance, to the industry's operation and supervision, according to the CAAC's smart aviation strategy.
The CAAC is actively promoting the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in luggage tracking, automatic luggage check-in, facial recognition, and intelligent inquiry services, among others.
China's major airports will enhance their luggage management service capabilities. Within this year, all major airports with annual passenger throughput exceeding 10 million will apply RFID.
The CAAC is also encouraging innovation in related technologies and drafting tech roadmaps in fields such as in-flight internet surfing on commercial airplanes.
In a recently issued tech roadmap, the CAAC showed the development path for the new-generation broadband communication technologies, represented by 5G-techs.
According to the roadmap, air passengers' in-flight internet surfing experience will be greatly enhanced, from previous cabin local networks to broadband connectivity with much higher speed.
As of the end of June, a total of 769 commercial airplanes of 21 Chinese airlines had been equipped with in-flight internet services, up 18 percent from 2020, CAAC data shows.
Opening new space
The CAAC's strategy in building a smart civil aviation industry is expected to boost the sector's further recovery from the COVID-19 impact, and open new space for industry players.
Digital techs will greatly boost the profitability and market performance of airlines, by saving fuel and personnel, cutting operation and maintenance costs, and enhancing safety and passenger experience, said Steven Lien, president of Honeywell China and Aerospace Asia Pacific.
"Working with Chinese partners, we look forward to supporting the digitalization of China's aviation industry and exploring more business chances," Lien added.
Digitalization will also contribute to the reduction in emissions through various "saving" and "enhancement" means. It is expected to help sustain the industry's low-carbon transformation, which is a challenging task for the whole industry.
"Digital techs enable us to save fuel and paper. We are not only concerned about cutting costs, but also about our shared commitments with China in cutting emissions," said Bernard Sim, deputy general manager of Scoot Airways.
The Singapore-based low-cost airline has resumed flights to eight Chinese destinations, around one-third of its resumed global network.
"Digitalization is a great chance of self-upgrading for airlines. It powers us to enhance passenger flight experiences and explore sustainable growth, especially in the massive market of China," Sim said.

2021.9.13 热爱今天
以前总分不清June和July，
听了Heat Waves后记得清清楚楚啦！
早上起来第一次践行了沐浴自然光5分钟的“倒时差”小窍门，
听着远处学校里熟悉的早操号角声（其实是音乐），
真是觉得幸福又轻松，
我不用赶着去做早操啦！得意
本人已经学业结束了！！！！
晨起唤醒瑜伽♀️ ✅
Keep跳绳前后放松拉伸 ✅
HIIT跳绳 1032下 ✅
健身环大冒险25分钟 ✅
[打call]今天的深蹲也太多了，差点给我蹲软了！
运动后来两口青柠脉动不过分吧？
晚上的羊又真好吃

【民调：五分之一的美国人被雇主要求接种新冠疫苗】知名民调机构盖洛普（Gallup）的相关调查显示，越来越多的美国人被雇主要求接种新冠疫苗。6月，只有6%的受访者表示雇主要求其接种新冠疫苗后才能回到办公场所。8月，这一比例已经攀升至19%，增长了两倍多。此外，被雇主“鼓励”接种疫苗的受访者占比则从最初的66%下降至了55%。#全球视讯# A total of 19 percent of U.S. employees say their employers require them to get vaccinated against COVID-19 before they return to their workplace, according to a Gallup poll conducted from August 16 to 22. In June, this proportion was only 6 percent. The share of Americans who said their employers encouraged vaccination dropped from 66 percent in June to 55 percent in August.
