China's BeiDou public service commitment won the International Civil Aviation Organization


According to the official website of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, Salvatore Sciacchitano, chairman of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), recently wrote to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, clearly accepting the service commitment of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System (hereinafter referred to as the "Beidou System") made by the Director General of the Civil Aviation Administration of China Feng Zhenglin on behalf of the Chinese government. This marks that China and ICAO have reached a formal consensus on the global civil aviation application of Beidou system, and laid a solid foundation for the subsequent Beidou system standard to pass the final review and formally incorporate it into ICAO standards, and then realize the global civil aviation application of Beidou system.

In order to deeply implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and instructions, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, together with the China Satellite Navigation System Management Office, Beihang University and other industry-university-research units, formed a special working team to fully promote the Beidou system to serve the global civil aviation application. Promoting the inclusion of Beidou system into ICAO standards is an important prerequisite. At the end of 2020, 189 performance indicators of Beidou System passed the verification of ICAO expert group, and all core technical work was completed; On July 2020, 7, the Beidou-31 global satellite navigation system was officially put into operation, which has fully demonstrated the advanced and reliable nature of the Beidou system, as well as China's determination and ability to provide high-standard global satellite navigation services for the world.

According to ICAO working procedures, Beidou system standards need to pass the review of the Navigation Committee and the final review of the Council before they can be officially released and implemented. As the main country in the construction and operation of the BeiDou system, China provides the BeiDou system public service commitment to ensure that it meets the global civil aviation application needs, which is an important link to win the extensive support of the international civil aviation industry. After approval, the Civil Aviation Administration of China officially sent a letter of commitment in January this year. While resolutely safeguarding national sovereign interests, the letter of commitment demonstrates China's open, inclusive and win-win attitude. In February, the Civil Aviation Authority received a formal reply from the President of the ICAO Council, clearly accepting the contents contained in China's letter of commitment. It is worth mentioning that the Beidou system and the Galileo system entered the ICAO review stage at the same time, and China sent a letter of commitment before the EU and was accepted, creating a good international environment for the global civil aviation application of the Beidou system.

按照ICAO工作程序,北斗系统标准需要通过航行委员会审查和理事会最终审议,方能正式发布施行。中国作为北斗系统建设和运行主体国家,提供北斗系统公开服务承诺,确保满足全球民航应用需求,是争取国际民航业广泛支持的重要环节。经批准,民航局于今年1月正式送交承诺函。承诺函在坚决维护国家主权利益的同时,展现了我国开放包容、合作共赢的态度。2月,民航局收到ICAO理事会主席正式复函,明确接受我国承诺函所载内容。值得一提的是,此次北斗系统和伽利略系统同时进入ICAO审议阶段,我国先于欧盟送交承诺函并获得接受,为北斗系统全球民航应用营造了良好国际环境。
