The first flight ceremony of Qiongyue drone public cargo logistics across the sea was held at Wenchang International Space City on April 24.

The industrial drone industry is an important segment of the low-altitude economy. According to data released by the Civil Aviation Administration of China on the 29th, by the end of 2023, China had more than 1.26 million drones, an increase of about 32% over the previous year. In 2023, civilian drones flew more than 23 million hours. The Civil Aviation Administration has approved the establishment of 17 civil unmanned aviation test zones and 3 test bases, covering scenarios such as cities, islands, branch logistics, and comprehensive application development. Yin Shenglu of Open Source Securities believes that in 2024, benefiting from the opening of low-altitude airspace for drones, accelerated airworthiness approval for medium and large drones, local government subsidies, and successful business models, logistics drones are expected to become the first large-scale scenario in the low-altitude economy.
