广州空港经济区管委会党组书记、主任孙秀清：

女士们、先生们，各位业界代表、专家们，新闻界的朋友们：

Ladies and gentlemen, representatives of all industries, experts and friends of the press,

大家好！根据发布会安排，下面由我向各位通报广州市建设国际航空枢纽的进展情况。建设国际航空枢纽是深入贯彻习近平总书记对广东重要指示批示精神的重要举措，也是广州当好“四个走在全国前列”排头兵的战略选择。近年来，在市委、市政府的正确领导下，广州空港经济区勇担使命、奋发有为，加快推动了国际航空枢纽和国家临空经济示范区建设，取得了一定的成绩。

Welcome to the press conference. Thanks for coming. According to the schedule, I’m going to brief you on the progress of the construction of Guangzhou international aviation hub. The construction is not only a critical measure of further implementing the important instructions and concepts of president Xi Jinping as to Guangdong, but also a strategic choice of Guangzhou to become a vanguard of“four major leading cities in the country”. In recent years, under the robust leadership of the CPC municipal committee and CPC municipal government, the Guangzhou airport economic zone has taken up the mission and unremittingly carried it out, and has obtained some achievements in promoting the construction of international aviation hub and national aviation economic demonstration zone.

一、改革创新力度不断加强，加快构建推动经济高质量发展体制机制。国家批复同意广州建设临空经济示范区，并支持示范区在优化通关服务、创新监管模式、加强对外开放与国际合作、推进投资便利化方面进行改革创新，要求在全国范围内形成可复制、可推广的临空经济示范区发展经验；市委、市政府先后出台《关于调整完善广州空港经济区管理体制的方案》《关于加快广州空港经济区开发建设的意见》和《广州空港经济区管理试行办法》，赋予空港经济区控制性详细规划审批、城市更新等54项行政管理权限，全面做实广州空港经济区，同时对广州空港经济区提出了61项支持措施和改革任务；广州空港经济区也制定了具体工作计划，近期将首先在政务服务、投融资体制、口岸保障等领域开展改革试点。未来广州国际航空枢纽将建设成为国家级的空港体制机制创新实验区。

1. Reform and innovation have been strengthened, and system and mechanism for promoting high-quality economic development are accelerating. China has approved the construction of Guangzhou aviation economic demonstration zone, and supported reform and innovation in aspects including optimizing customs clearance service, innovating regulatory model, strengthening opening to the outside world and international cooperation, and promoting investment facilitation in the demonstration zone, has demanded the formation of development experience of aviation economic demonstration zone which can be replicated and promoted across the country. Municipal party committee and municipal government have issued“The plan on the adjustment and improvement of Guangzhou airport economic zone management system”,“Opinions about speeding up the construction of Guangzhou airport economic zone” and“Tentative management measures for the Guangzhou airport economic zone”, which give 54 public administrative authorities such as regulatory plans and approval, as well as urban renewal in the airport economic zone, comprehensively build Guangzhou airport economic zone; at the same time, they have put forward 61 support measures and reform tasks for Guangzhou airport economic zone. Guangzhou airport economic zone has also formulated specific work plans, to carry out reform trials in government service, investment and financing system, port security and other areas in the near future. Guangzhou international aviation hub will be a national airport innovation experimental zone in system and mechanism.

二、国际航空枢纽功能明显增强，推动加快形成全面开放新格局。全面加快白云机场扩建，目前白云机场T2航站楼已正式启用，航站楼建筑面积扩展65.8万平米，总体旅客吞吐量设计容量已提升至8000万人次/年，南方航空等已顺利转场运营，为广州加快开放发展注入强劲动力。目前，航线网络已覆盖全球220个航点，拥有航线超过300条，其中国际航线157条。去年实现旅客吞吐量6584万人次，同比增长10.2%，位居世界第十三，其中国际旅客量1589万人次，同比增长17.6%，占总旅客的24%；货邮吞吐量达178万吨，同比增长7.9%。白云机场口岸贸易便利化水平显著提升，通过深化“三互”大通关改革，实施“单一窗口”、“互联网+空港e通”等措施，试点创建国家级检验检疫公共服务标准化示范基地，实现进口巴士杀菌乳通关时长减至20分钟以内、保税融资租赁飞机落地1小时即完成入区验放、进出口报关单平均通关效率提高25%以上。此外，集城轨、地铁、高速公路、城市公交等于一体的综合交通枢纽正加紧建设，世界级综合交通体系雏形初现。正是因为广州优越的枢纽条件，被誉为全球民航界“奥运会”和“世博会”的世界航线发展大会已成功落户广州，今年9月15日至18日，来自全球约110个国家的300多家航空公司、700多家机场管理机构、130多家政府及旅游机构等3000多名代表将齐聚于此、共襄盛会。此次大会是促进广州航线网络发展、展示广州城市形象实力、带动区域经济发展的重要机遇，将有力提升广州在全球航空网络中的地位，推动高端资源要素集聚，强化引智引技引资实效，大力发展高端高质高新航空产业，为推动广州开放型经济发展作出新的更大贡献，未来广州国际航空枢纽将建设成为广州对外开放和对外合作交流的重要窗口。

2.The functions of international aviation hub have significantly enhanced and accelerate forming a new and comprehensive pattern of opening up. Speed up the expansion of Baiyun airport. At present, Baiyun airport T2 terminal has been officially opened, terminal building area is extended 65.8 square meters, the overall design capacity and throughput capacity of passengers are up to 80 million people per year, and China southern airlines has smooth transitions in operation, providing strong impetus for speeding up opening up and development of Guangzhou. The route network has covered 220 destinations worldwide, with more than 300 routes, including 157 international routes. Last year, passenger throughput reached 65.84 million, up 10.2% year on year, ranking 13th in the world. Among the passengers, international passengers were 15.89 million, up 17.6% year on year, accounting for 24% of the total. The cargo throughput reached 1.78 million tons, up 7.9% year on year. The port trade facilitation level of Baiyun airport is significantly increased; by deepening the reform of customs clearance, implementing measures of“single window” and"Internet + airport", establishing pioneering national-level standardization demonstrative base of inspection and quarantine public service, realizing the customs clearance duration of import bus sterilization milk reduced to 20 minutes, completion of entrance and examination of bonded financing lease airplane in an hour after landing, and the average customs clearance efficiency of import and export customs declaration raised by more than 25%. In addition, the construction of a comprehensive transportation hub integrating urban rail, subway, expressway and urban bus is accelerating, and a world-class comprehensive transportation system is taking shape. It is because of superior conditions of Guangzhou hub, the well-known"Olympic Games" and"world expo" of global civil aviation circle, World Route Development Conference has been successfully settled in Guangzhou. From September 15 to 18 this year, more than 3000 delegates of over 300 airlines from about 110 countries around the world, more than 700 airport management institutions, and more than 130 government and travel agencies will gather here for this grand and joyous event. This conference provides significant opportunities to promote Guangzhou route network development, show the image and strength of Guangzhou city, drive the regional economic development, which will strongly advance Guangzhou’s status in the global aviation network, push the agglomeration of high-end resources and elements, strengthen the effectiveness of introducing talents, techniques and capitals, vigorously develop high-end, high-quality, high-tech aviation industry, make new, greater contributions to the development of open economy in Guangzhou, and in the future, Guangzhou international aviation hub will become an important window for opening to the outside world and foreign cooperation and exchanges in Guangzhou.

三、临空高端产业加快集聚，推动建设临空型现代化经济体系。通过优化临空产业布局，出台“7+1”系列招商政策，积极开展精准招商，优化改善投资环境等举措，全力发展实体经济，形成临空型、高端化、现代化的经济体系。目前，广州空港经济区已进驻企业总数达11728家，形成了五大临空产业集聚。一是已初步形成全国最大飞机维修基地和全球最大飞机客改货基地，2017年该基地实现营业收入31.3亿元，同比增长17.7%。全球最大的两家飞机制造企业波音公司和空客公司的客改货项目均已落户。二是初步形成全国最大空港物流中心，美国联邦快递已在区内注册独立法人公司，DHL、穗佳、顺丰等国内外知名物流企业均在区内建立物流基地，2017年机场综保区进出口总额约165.9亿元，同比增长28.3%，连续多年实现两位数快速增长。三是空港跨境电商业发展迅猛，入驻机场综保区跨境电商企业逾千家、商品备案项数超过10万种，覆盖BBC进口等5种跨境电商业务领域，2017年空港口岸跨境电商进出口总值超37亿元，同比增长超过50%，各项跨境电商业务指标连续四年居全国空港首位。四是航空总部商务集聚明显，截至目前，已有南方航空、九元航空等主基地航空公司，东航广东分公司等77家航空公司陆续入驻广州空港经济区，其中国际或地区航空公司48家。五是飞机租赁业实现新突破，2017年空港经济区租赁飞机共落地23架，货值约125.25亿元人民币，架次、货值同比均增长1.3倍；同步拓展航空租赁业务范围和规模，成功引进5台飞机发动机，下一步将拓展至公务机租赁业务。未来广州国际航空枢纽将发展成为国家临空经济创新发展先行区。

3. Accelerate the agglomeration of high-end industries in the airport, and promote the construction of a modern aviation economic system. By optimizing the layout of aviation industry, introduce"7 + 1" series investment promotion policies, actively carry out accurate investment introduction, optimize measures like investment environment, and spare no effort to develop the real economy, for the formation of high-end, modern aviation economic system. At present, Guangzhou airport economic zone has a total of 11,728 enterprises, forming five major aviation industry clusters. First, the largest aircraft maintenance base in China and the largest aircraft conversion base from passenger to cargo in the world have initially been formed. In 2017, the operating revenue of this base reached 3.13 billion yuan, up 17.7% year on year. Two of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers, Boeing and Airbus, have already launched passenger conversion to cargo programs. Second, the largest airport logistics center has been initially formed, FedEx has already had independent legal company registered in the zone, and famous domestic and foreign logistics enterprises including DHL, Suijia, and S.F.Express have already established logistics bases in the zone. In 2017, airport comprehensive bonded zone had total import and export volume of nearly 16.59 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth of 28.3%, achieving double-digit growth for many successive years. Third, airport cross-border e-business is developing rapidly, more than a thousand cross-border e-business enterprises have set up business in the airport comprehensive bonded zone, with more than 100000 sorts of goods filed in the record, covering five kinds of cross-border e-business fields such as BBC imported e-business. In 2017, the import and export gross value of airport cross-border e-business exceeded 3.7 billion yuan, rising more than 50% year on year, and all cross-border e-business indicators have ranked the first for four consecutive years in the country. Fourth, business agglomeration in aviation headquarters is obvious. So far, 77 airlines have successively settled in Guangzhou airport economic zone, including main base airlines such as China Southern Airlines, 9 air, China Eastern Airlines Guangdong branch, etc., among them, there are 48 international or regional airlines. Fifth, a new breakthrough was made in the aircraft leasing industry. In 2017, 23 leased aircrafts landed in the airport economic zone, with a value of about 12.525 billion yuan, while sortie and value have increased 1.5 times year on year. We will simultaneously expand the business scope and scale of aviation leasing and successfully introduce five aircraft engines. In the next step, we will expand to the business aircraft leasing business. In the future, Guangzhou international aviation hub will develop into a pioneering national aviation economic and innovative development zone.

接下来，广州空港经济区将不忘初心、牢记使命，把国际航空枢纽建设放到高质量发展大局中，量质并举、以质优先，实现枢纽地位更突出、产业带动效用更明显；以建设国际航空枢纽为抓手抢占先机、赢得优势，促进全面开放，塑造更多引领型发展，争当“四个走在全国前列”排头兵。我们争取用3至5年的时间，将广州空港经济区建设成为具有国际先进水平，功能完善、绿色生态、产业高端的国际航空产业城和世界枢纽港，奋力把广州空港经济区建设成为向世界展示践行习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的重要“窗口”和“示范区”。

Guangzhou airport economic zone will stay true to the mission and keep it in mind, put priority in the construction of international aviation hub. We will place equal importance in quality and quantity, with quality as the preference, to realize more outstanding hub status, and more obvious driving effectiveness of industries. We will take the construction of an international aviation hub as the goal, seize the opportunity and gain advantages, promote all-round opening up, shape more leading development, and strive to be the vanguard of the"four leading major cities in the country". We strive to build Guangzhou airport economic zone into an international aviation industry city and a hub port in the world in three to five years, which has international advanced level, fully-equipped functions, green ecology, and high-end industry. It’s our mission to construct Guangzhou airport economic zone into an important"window" and"demonstration zone" which practices Chinese socialist concepts in the new era of Xi Jinping to the whole world.
