China's economic development is very fast, and the air transport industry is developing even faster. By the end of 2022, there were 254 domestic transport airports (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), 399 registered general airports (a net increase of 29 over the end of last year), 4,165 registered civil aviation transport aircraft, 4,670 scheduled flight routes (including 4,334 domestic routes and 336 international routes), 66 transport airlines, 57,854 drivers (an increase of 2,277 over the end of last year), and 85,001 flight attendants.
Such a large and fast-growing industry creates a huge demand for skilled workers. In 2023, although there are 1,275 undergraduate colleges and universities in China, there are only eight ordinary undergraduate colleges in the name of aviation, and only nine are added to the famous Northwestern Polytechnical University, which is a famous tertiary aviation university. In this context, three new aviation academies have emerged this year.
In November 2023, the Ministry of Education officially issued a letter approving the renaming of Binzhou University to Shandong Aeronautical University. Although the history of the school began in 1954, it has always been a normal college, and after it was rebuilt and upgraded to Binzhou University in 2004, it gradually turned its development direction to aviation. In 2006, the Flight Academy was established to offer a flight technology (undergraduate) major, becoming the first local undergraduate university in the country to set up a flight technology major, starting the journey of transformation to aviation characteristics.
Since then, Binzhou University has continued to increase aviation majors, built aviation experimental facilities, set up aviation-related aeronautical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, airports, cabin crew and other colleges, and carried out "order-based" joint training of pilots with 32 units such as Air China, Shandong Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, etc., and the professional proportion of training aviation talents reached 622%, and the proportion of aviation students is 5695%, forming obvious aviation education characteristics, and completed a gorgeous turn in November 2023.
In December 2023, the Ministry of Education officially issued a letter agreeing to the establishment of Jiangxi Flight Academy. This is a provincial public level of ordinary colleges and universities, positioned as the focus on cultivating innovative, applied and compound talents serving regional economic and social development. According to the letter, the first batch of five undergraduate majors in the university including aircraft manufacturing engineering, logistics engineering, marketing, financial management, and leisure sports were set up, and the number of full-time students was tentatively set at 10,000.
Jiangxi Flight College was established on the basis of Jiangxi Economic Management Cadre College and Jiangxi Ji'an Aviation Sports School. Founded in 1984, Jiangxi Economic Management Cadre College has first-class undergraduate and full-time general college qualifications, and has 356 full-time teachers.
Ji'an Aviation Sports School originated from the Ji'an Aviation Club in 1959 and was renamed "Jiangxi Aviation Sports Management Center" in 2000, which is the only comprehensive aviation sports training base in Jiangxi Province. In 2015, the new general airport was put into use, covering an area of 1,000 acres. It can be said that the conditions for running a school in Jiangxi Flight Academy are quite good.
The Hubei Provincial Department of Education issued a public announcement that it plans to establish a new Three Gorges Aviation College. This means that the Three Gorges Aviation Institute has entered an intensive application process, and it is only a matter of time before it obtains the qualification to run the school. Why?In 2016, Yichang proposed to bid for the Three Gorges Aviation Institute, and in 2017, it passed the provincial announcement but stopped at the inspection of the ministerial expert group, believing that there is still a certain gap between some conditions and undergraduate schools.
This is the second time that the application review process has been initiated. It is certain that after 2018, the organizers must have done their homework in accordance with the requirements of "making up for shortcomings". The school is a joint venture between Wuhan Midland Real Estate Group and HNA Aviation Group, and is located in the Science and Education City of Dianjun District, Yichang City, with a planned area of 1,000 acres and a total construction area of about 600,000 square meters, which is planned and constructed in two phases. The first phase of the project, with a total investment of 1.2 billion yuan, has been completed in the first half of 2021, including student dormitories, canteens, administrative buildings, teaching buildings, experimental training buildings, etc., and has also purchased more than 51 million yuan of scientific research instruments and equipment, 410,000 paper books, and 100,000 electronic books.
This school once wanted to be named "Hubei Aviation College", but there were new regulations, and the provincial ** school can use the provincial name;If other schools really need to use provincial naming, the provincial ** will coordinate and check it, but the location of the school must be clearly stated in the name. Henan Kaifeng Institute of Science and Technology Media is named in accordance with this regulation. If the Three Gorges Aviation Institute also uses the name of the province, it is obviously not the best choice. Fortunately, it is located in Yichang, and the famous name of "Three Gorges" is available.
Some netizens don't understand why Yichang has a place name of "Point Military District". It turned out that Guan Yu, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, had paraded horses at this place, hence the name. There is also the site of the ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms. The "Point Military Region" is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, which is a low mountain and hilly area, and belongs to the humid climate zone of the middle zone, with 318 National Highway crossing the jurisdiction, and the Yangtze River crossing the waterway.
Netizens, I don't know what you think of the three aviation colleges, welcome to leave a message to discuss.
