The European Union – China Aviation Partnership Project (APP), launched in 2016 and funded by the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI) of the European Commission, will mark the completion of its second phase with an official closing event hosted by the EU Delegation to the People’s Republic of China in Beijing on 17 December 2024. Attended to by the project’s key stakeholders from authorities and industry, the event also serves to express the high expectations for the continuation of this successful cooperation framework.
The EU-China APP is managed by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). Having organised more than 120 activities in total, the platform facilitated exchanges of the most advanced aviation expertise, provided by European and Chinese regulators and major industry players such as aircraft (parts) manufacturers, air operators and Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) as well as EUROCONTROL.
Against the backdrop of a high-paced trend of developments in the civil aviation domain, both Europe and China will continue to cooperate tackling regulatory challenges head-on to make the future safer, more connected, and greener. The EU-China APP will continue to provide the platform for these important discussions.
