CAAC Weather Center to be established

The Air Traffic Management Bureau of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) announced on May 29 the establishment of the CAAC Weather Center as part of the modernization of China’s civil aviation.
The weather center will expedite the operation system of the civil aviation weather business. Among those who attended the ceremony were Wang Changshun, CAAC vice minister, and Su Langen, director of the ATMB. In a speech, Su pointed out that along with rapid development of China’s air transport industry, civil aviation weather customers such as airlines will have more demanding requirements. The construction of the CAAC Weather Center will be expedited to suit the requirements of a rapidly-developing civil aviation industry and provide high-quality service to customers. He said the construction of the weather center should be based on satisfying the requirement of integrating the air traffic management operations, on ATMB’s “three verticals and three horizontals” operation system, and on improving civil aviation weather service.
