As of June 30, 2017, there are 74 CAAC approved <strong>GA</strong> airports, with eight located in the Guangdong Province.<br />

occasions, <strong>GA</strong> flights and scheduled flights can use the facility simultaneously.<br />

According to the latest version of the government-approved<br />

Investment Project Catalogue, the approval examination<br />

process is currently passed down to the provincial department.<br />

Nonetheless, the examination has to pass through several<br />

government entities: military, CAAC, provincial Department<br />

of Environmental Protection, provincial Water Resources<br />

Department, provincial Office of Land and Resources, provincial<br />

Development and Reform Commission, Earthquake Management<br />

Department, Cultural Relics Investigation Team, Surveying and<br />

Mapping Institute and Prospecting Team and others.<br />

With encouragement for aviation development and local<br />

government urban planning, a portion of <strong>GA</strong> airports are under<br />

planning to relocate and upgrade. Other <strong>GA</strong> airport innovations<br />

and expansion are made upon needs, but are required to maintain<br />

the capability to serve the <strong>GA</strong> industry.<br />

Apart from CAAC approved airports, other kinds of airports are also<br />

in operation in the country. There are more than 421 <strong>GA</strong> airports and<br />

temporary landing points, serving the purpose of agriculture, pilot<br />

training, aircraft test flight and other mission segments.<br />
