“We are proud that Xsight’s global reputation as an industry leader is acknowledged by the Chinese aviation market,”said Alex Koren, CEO of Xsight Systems. “As China is becoming the largest aviation market, with intensive growth in air traffic, grows the need for a runway threat detection solution to boost both safety and capacity of airport runways.”
According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the country aims to have 450 airports by 2035, almost doubling its current number of airports. As of end-October 2018, China had 234 civil airports, and aims to construct 216 new airports by 2035 to meet the growing demands for air travel.
