The Civil Aviation Flight University of China (CAAC) recently announced an important plan: to change its name to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China" by 2028. This news has attracted widespread attention and aroused people's expectations for the future development of the college. As one of the only two "national brand" civil aviation undergraduate colleges in China, CAAC has always been well-known in the industry for its excellent strength and excellent training quality. The renaming plan will undoubtedly further enhance the prestige and status of CAAC and contribute to the development of China's aviation industry.
The development history of CAAC can be traced back to the 50s of the last century, when China was ushering in the vigorous development of the aviation industry. In order to meet the growing demand for pilots, it was decided to set up a special aviation academy. As a result, the Civil Aviation Flight University of China came into being and became an important base for training civil aviation pilots in China. For decades, CAAC has been committed to cultivating the best flight talents, not only providing a large number of pilots and management cadres for China's civil aviation, but also injecting a steady stream of fresh blood into the development of the entire industry.
The renaming plan proposed by CAAC was not achieved overnight, but was a deliberate and prudent decision. According to the "three-step" development strategy formulated by the college, CAAC will realize the name change of the university by 2028 and enter a new stage of development.
The year 2028 is expected to be an important milestone for CAAC, because by that time, the level of the college will be further improved and the university name will be renamed. This initiative will lead the development of CAAC into the fast lane and lay a solid foundation for its future development. At the same time, CAAC also plans to become a doctorate-granting institution in 2035 and build a civil aviation characteristic teaching and research university, which has the main characteristics of a world-class flying university. In the end, CAAC's goal is to synchronize with the second centenary goal by the middle of this century and build a "world-class flying university with Chinese characteristics" in an all-round way.
The proposal of these plans is an affirmation of the achievements made by CAAC in its continuous development and growth, and also a clear plan for the future development direction. By changing its name to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China", CAAC will further consolidate its authoritative position inside and outside the industry and cultivate more top flight talents for China's aviation industry.
As a top civil aviation undergraduate college, CAAC has abundant teaching resources and high-quality faculty. At present, CAAC has seven campuses in five cities in Sichuan and Henan provinces, and five flight training branches in Xinjin, Guanghan, Mianyang, Suining and Luoyang, Henan, to manage and operate five general and transport aviation airports. In addition, CAAC has 15 secondary colleges, 47 undergraduate majors and 13 master's degree programs, with more than 25,000 students. This strength has laid a solid foundation for the college to change its name and provided a strong impetus for its future development.
Not only that, CAAC has also established extensive cooperative relations with other domestic and foreign universities, enterprises and institutions, and has a rich variety of joint training and exchange programs. For example, there are cooperative flight training bases in Zigong, Wuzhou, Harbin, Yongchuan and other places to provide students with a broader training platform. These cooperative projects not only enrich the educational resources of CAAC, but also provide a wider range of opportunities for students' professional development and employment.
The renaming of CAAC as "Civil Aviation Flight University of China" is an important milestone, which represents that CAAC will move towards a new stage of development. The accumulation of CAAC in the past decades has provided a solid foundation for its name change. From training pilots to carrying out scientific research, from domestic majors to international exchanges, CAAC is constantly expanding its influence and voice in the field of aviation. After the name change, CAAC will be committed to building a world-class flight university with Chinese characteristics and making more important contributions to the development of China's civil aviation industry.
All in all, the renaming of CAAC to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China" is the inevitable result of CAAC's development over the years, and it is also an important milestone in its future development. This initiative shows that CAAC is leading the future of China's civil aviation education and has made great contributions to cultivating more top talents and promoting the development of the industry. We look forward to the renaming of CAAC and the new chapter of the Civil Aviation Flight University of China. Let's look forward to the glorious moment when CAAC will successfully change its name and become a world-class flying university with Chinese characteristics by 2028!
