Recently, the construction of key projects in Hainan Free Trade Zone (Hong Kong) and the second-phase project of Haikou Meilan International Airport are in full swing. Liao Hongyu, deputy to the National People's Congress, the chairman of the board of directors of HNA Airport Group, and the chairman of the board of supervisors of Haikou Meilan International Airport, is visiting the site to learn about the latest progress of the construction site project.
"This epidemic has caused turmoil in the world's civil aviation transportation industry. The normalization phase of epidemic prevention and control will become a new round of infrastructure construction for the development of the domestic aviation Internet industry." Liao Hongyu introduced that the second phase of Meilan International Airport will create a smart airport, Introduce more new technologies and new applications including 5G in security, environmental protection, and intelligent services. The project will meet an annual passenger throughput of 35 million passengers and an annual cargo and mail throughput of 400,000 tons in 2025.
Recently, the term "new infrastructure" has attracted considerable attention. Liao Hongyu said that with the current downward pressure on China's economy, the "new infrastructure" has been given many expectations such as stable growth and stable employment. Through digital technology such as big data and cloud computing, the transformation of the industrial chain can achieve precise perception, online processing and intelligent decision-making, which helps to break through the bottleneck of industrial development.
"The new infrastructure will help the civil aviation industry to enter the 'fast lane'." Liao Hongyu believes that the airport construction should be closely integrated with the local rail transit planning and construction situation, tap the potential of the airport in the comprehensive transportation system, and achieve the airport and rail transportation hardware, All-round connectivity of software facilities makes passenger travel more convenient and faster. Airlines and airports should strengthen the use of 5G technology, and in particular, should actively use new technologies such as artificial intelligence, "Internet +", biometrics, etc. to meet passenger travel, simplify new processes such as passenger flow and full-process self-service.
He took Meilan Airport as an example. At present, the airport has been constructed and put into use as a comprehensive transportation hub, connecting various types of traffic tracks in the city, and achieving one-stop transfer service for seamless connection of air-ground transportation. The design of the second phase of the airport has transformed into a diversified airport. In addition to the application of face recognition, self-service luggage check-in, one-card customs clearance, and automatic baggage sorting, etc., the sponge city design concept has also been integrated into the airport project to bring Hainan ’s tropical characteristics Plants "move into" multiple garden courtyards in the terminal building.
During the two sessions of the National Assembly last year, Liao Hongyu proposed to expand and strengthen the aviation maintenance industry in Hainan to improve the development level of service trade in response to the current situation of the construction and development of the Hainan Free Trade Zone (Hong Kong). He was pleased to see that in the past year, the construction of the "one-stop" aircraft maintenance service base in Haikou Rinkong Industrial Park has been accelerated, and the first international customer aircraft inbound maintenance has been completed.
This year, Liao Hongyu proposed to promote Hainan to build a "one-stop" international aircraft leasing center. "As an emerging industry, the airport industry and the global aircraft leasing industry have huge market space." He believes that he can learn from the experience of Ireland, Tianjin Dongjiang and other leading international aircraft leasing industry gathering places, and rely on the free trade port policy opportunities to develop aircraft in Hainan. The leasing industry will explore and innovate in the fiscal and taxation support system, free cross-border flow of funds, offshore aircraft leasing business, the introduction and training of professional talents, and foster new economic growth momentum.
