China's aviation industry has logged a record 5 million continuous hours of safe flying, according to the China Administration of Civil Aviation, the first time it has achieved such a figure.
Speaking at the 57th Annual International Air Safety Seminar (IASS), deputy head of the civil aviation administration Wang Changshun said that the safety record began in May 2002 and that China's aviation safety record has improved considerably between 1994 and 2003 with an average accident occurrence at 0.62 per 1 million flight hours, falling to 0.44 for the past three years.
Wang said that China intended to lower the ratio to the level of developed nations such as the US, which operates at a 0.30 ratio, by 2010.
Civil aviation in China carried 100 million passengers between January and October 2004, a 44.9% increase over the same period in 2003, reports Xinhua.
