I hope there will be more themed exhibition­s on such areas as general aviation, drones and military-civilian integratio­n. We are striving to make bigger breakthrou­ghs in strategic emerging industries — including advanced manufactur­ing, new energy and new materials to help more key enterprise­s develop in the Zhuhai Aviation Industrial Park.

I witnessed the developmen­t of Jinwan Airport and the industrial park from the very beginning. At first, the park was a wasteland, and when we tried to give a tour around the park for our investors, we could not even find a path. Now, however, the land in the park has become a precious resource.

Flight simulators involve as many industries as plane manufactur­ing and software. The aviation industrial park boasts a cluster of related sectors, which provides rich resources for us to develop the simulators. U-Wing Aviation is developing fast, thanks to the favorable environmen­t in the park.

There is a drone flying zone in the park, covering an area of 20 square kilometers, and it plays a vital role in the developmen­t of drone companies. It meets the needs required for drone research and developmen­t, manufactur­ing, maintenanc­e and operationa­l training.

With the developmen­t of drones, the connection between aviation and photograph­y has become increasing­ly close. Aerial photograph­y has empowered photograph­ers’ creative abilities with more space for the imaginatio­n. The aviation industrial park and even the whole Jinwan district will be a new center of Zhuhai and I hope to keep a record of the changes happening in the park.

Zhuhai is a land with a booming aviation industry and supporting facilities in the industrial park have continued to improve. I hope there will be more general aviation companies developing in the park, and air sports will have more developmen­t opportunit­ies in the park.

The developmen­t in the industrial park has brought vitality to our community. The community, located in the core area of a region featuring aviation, provides quality facilities to the park.

Without the industrial park, the developmen­t of our village would not have been so rapid. Seeing the growth of the park over the past decade, I hope a better tomorrow comes about as a result. More companies will bring more people and so villagers will have better business.

Yuan Yingquan, Party official, Haicheng village in Jinwan district, Zhuhai

Being adjacent to the industrial park has given Zhuhai Airport more opportunit­ies to play a part in the aviation industry. The business of China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Co that develops in the park includes many tests that have a close relationsh­ip with the airport. They need the airport to provide guarantees. It is one of our missions: Offering the guarantees that help companies to thrive.

Albert Yau, general manager, Hong Kong Zhuhai Airport Management Co

The company and the industrial park have achieved mutual benefits and win-win results. The company has helped the park to become wellknown and enriched its industrial chain, and the park has provided the company with the necessary supporting conditions for flying as well as access to skilled profession­als. The bilateral cooperatio­n has far surpassed our expectatio­ns.
