PROJECT CONTEXT AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES A. CONTEXT AT APPRAISAL Context 1. China’s National Civil Airport Development Plan (2008) envisioned 244 civil airports by the end of 2020 to enable all provincial capitals, major cities, and major tourism destinations to be connected by a functional hub, trunk, and feeder airport network. More than 80 percent of the counties were expected to be within 100 km (1.5 hours by ground transport access) of an airport. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2005- 2010), China’s civil aviation infrastructure had invested RMB250 billion (US$38 billion), which was equivalent to the combined investment of the previous 25 years. As of 2010, China had 175 civilian airports, of which 33 had been built in the previous five years. In July 2012, the State Council issued a document to encourage the development of China's civil aviation industry. The 12th FYP (2011-2015) had a goal of building 82 new airports by 2015 to increase China's airport network by nearly 50%. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) was assigned the task to oversee expansion of China's airport network. 2. By 2013, China was the world’s second largest aviation market in terms of traffic volume, and air transport was the fastest growing mode of transport. The Government was increasing investment in building and renovating airports, especially feeder airports, and expanding its aviation network. The country was, nevertheless, faced with considerable challenges especially in the development of feeder airports and aviation services. Issues such as poor connectivity with regional airports, poor operational efficiency, and low utilization of feeder airports were restraining China from building a mature and efficient air transportation network. The number of feeder airports and feeder airlines were relatively small and geographical coverage was yet to be optimized. Besides, the provision
