Encyclopedia
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC; ), formerly the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China , is the aviation authority
under the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China. It oversees civil aviation
and investigates aviation accidents and incidents
. As the aviation authority responsible for China, it concluded civil aviation agreements with other aviation authorities, including those of the Special Administrative Regions of the People's Republic of China which are categorized as "special domestic". The agency is headquartered in Dongcheng District
, Beijing
.
The CAAC does not share the responsibility of managing China's airspace with the Central Military Commission
under the regulations in the Civil Aviation Law of the People's Republic of China (中华人民共和国民用航空法). Being subordinate to military traffic, non-commercial civil aviation
is rather restricted. General
and private aviation in mainland China is relatively rare compared to developed countries.
, to manage all non-military aviation in the country, as well as provide general and commercial flight service (similar to Aeroflot
in the Soviet Union). It was initially managed by the People's Liberation Army Air Force
.
In 1963, China departed from its policies of Marxist self-sufficiency with a purchase of six Vickers Viscount
aircraft from Great Britain, followed in 1971 with four Hawker Siddeley Trident
aircraft from Pakistan International Airlines
. In August 1971 the airline purchased six Trident 2E's directly from Hawker Siddeley. The country also placed provisional orders for three Concorde
aircraft. With the 1972 Nixon visit to China
the country ordered 10 Boeing 707
jets. In December 1973 it took the unprecedented step of borrowing £40 million from Western banks to fund the purchase of 15 additional Trident jets. Russian built Ilyushin Il-62
aircraft were used on long range routes during the 1970s and 1980s.
In 1980 the airline was transferred to the direct control of the State Council
.
In 1987 the airline division of CAAC was divided up into a number of airlines, each named after the region of China where it had its hub. Since then, CAAC acts solely as a government agency and no longer provides commercial flight service.
In March 2008, the agency changed its name to Civil Aviation Administration of China (中国民用航空局) and became a subsidiary of the newly created Ministry of Transport.
CAAC began operating scheduled domestic flights to cities in China in 1949.
In 1962, CAAC began operating international services.
