China's domestically developed large electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL) "Karryou." Recently, the "Shenzhen Low-Altitude Aircraft Take-off and Landing Facility Layout Plan (2026-2035)" was officially issued and implemented. By 2035, over 1,500 take-off and landing points will be scientifically planned and systematically deployed. This marks China's first municipal-level special plan targeting low-altitude aircraft infrastructure, positioning Shenzhen as a pioneer in low-altitude economic development and innovative urban spatial resource utilization.
**Strategic Planning: Transforming "Low-Altitude" into a New Urban Growth Engine** As a national demonstration zone for the low-altitude economy, Shenzhen is systematically leveraging this strategic natural resource to drive urban development. The plan aligns with national policies to deepen reforms in natural resource utilization and supports Shenzhen’s goal of becoming a global leader in low-altitude economic activities.
**Scenario-Driven Approach: Focusing on Three Major Low-Altitude Applications** The plan prioritizes logistics distribution, passenger transport, and public services, addressing urgent urban needs such as emergency medical deliveries and high-value cargo transport. By 2035, Shenzhen aims to establish over 1,500 take-off and landing points, fostering a safe, scalable, and thriving low-altitude economy.
**Efficient Infrastructure Network: Two-Tier Facility Framework** The plan introduces a "low-altitude hub—terminal landing point" structure to create a streamlined, multifunctional network. Key hubs will handle intercity and cross-border transport, while modular terminal points will integrate seamlessly into urban environments. Emphasis is placed on shared and interconnected infrastructure, linking low-altitude facilities with transportation, commerce, healthcare, and emergency systems.
**Digital Empowerment: Smart and Dynamic Planning** To ensure scientific precision, the plan employs digital tools like the city-wide spatiotemporal information platform (CIM) for 3D assessments of noise, airspace conditions, and environmental impacts. Future adjustments will be data-driven, transforming static plans into dynamic "live maps."
**A New Chapter in Smart Urban Mobility** The plan reflects Shenzhen’s advanced urban governance and commitment to national low-altitude economic strategies. Envisioned outcomes include efficient logistics drones, aerial taxis, rapid emergency response drones, and enhanced urban management. Authorities will collaborate to expedite implementation, integrating air, ground, underground, and marine spaces to realize Shenzhen’s ambition as the "world's first low-altitude economy hub."
