Three ACCs(Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai) has been put into operation since 2003. Two new ACCs(Chengdu, Xi’an) has been put into operation in 2013 ATMB will integrate 20 Upper Control Areas into 7 greater Upper Control Areas in next five years, with the purpose of reducing coordination and expediting traffic flow.

Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA)：Airspace is flexibly shared by different airspace users according to their specific demand Fragmentation of airspace use should be reduced with highest efforts. Development of Flexible Use of Airspace in China
35 temporary routes established after Olympic Games since March 2009. Flight delays reduced by 2% in relevant airports in Pearl River Delta(PRD) area, when V17 and V18 temporary routes open to civil flights particular for the city pairs from PRD to Eastern China. Temporary routes are playing a very important role during big events and bad weather. Development of Flexible Use of Airspace in China
Temporary Routes：shared use of airspace between civil aviation and other users
