China launches civil aviation security reform after plane crash

China’s civil aviation regulator on Tuesday immediately launched the launch of a two-week security reform of the civil aviation sector after a passenger plane crashed the day before with 132 people on board.

In addition to the previous security surveillance and guidance, the security reform aims to further strengthen the investigation of hidden threats in the civil aviation sector to ensure the absolute safety of aviation operations and the lives of the people, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China in a circular.

The security reform covers all regional air traffic management agencies, companies involved in civil aviation transport and general aviation, relevant service providers, airport operators, flight training organizations, among others.

During the review, the focus will be on areas such as professional team building, implementation of rules and standards, and the ability to ensure safety, reports the state-run Xinhua news agency.

The China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737 plane, which departed from Kunming on Monday for Guangzhou, crashed into a mountain area near Molang Village in Tengxian County in Wuzhou City at 2:38 a.m., causing a mountain fire.
