On May 28, 2019, the Kuche County People's Government held the first flight of short-distance transportation at Kuqa Airport. After the inauguration ceremony, Kuche Airlines will use the capacity procurement model to use the Air King 350 in Shijiazhuang and a large brown bear in Xinjiang to give priority to the Kuqa-Aksu route. In terms of schedule, the Kuqa-Aksu route is scheduled to open every morning at 10:20 am from Kuqa to Aksu and return to Kuqa by Aksu at 12:05. It will be opened every Monday, Friday and Sunday. It will depart from Kuqa to Aksu at 19:00 and return to Kuqa by Aksu at 20:45. The actual flight time of Kuqa to Aksu route is less than one hour, and the fastest flight time is about 40 minutes.
At the same time, Kuche Airlines will open the Kuqa-Kelamayi direct flight route as soon as possible, and initially arrange 2-3 classes per week to make up for the shortage of Kuche to the Karamay and the lack of flight density. The actual flight time of the Kuqa to Karamay route is less than 2 hours, and the fastest flight can be reached in about 80 minutes. The flight experience is similar to the large aircraft business class.

Kuche Airlines is fully known as Kuqa Airlines Kuzi Aviation Group Co., Ltd., which was incorporated on March 14, 2019. It is owned by Kuche Urban and Rural Construction Investment (Group) Co., Ltd., Kuche Water Investment Group Co., Ltd. and Kuche County. The state-owned enterprises jointly established by Run Agriculture Development and Development Group Co., Ltd. and Kuche County Silk Road Cultural Tourism Group Co., Ltd. are entrusting Air Investment Group Co., Ltd. to establish CCAR 135 General Airlines, and will conduct professional short-distance transportation in the future. During the preparation period, the market will be pre-heated by the transportation procurement mode, the market will be verified, the professional operation team will be trained in advance, and the service guarantee will be improved.
Kuche Airlines is established in accordance with the national “One Belt and One Road” important strategy and the requirement of Xinjiang to build a “chain-to-network network” route network. It is created to help build the Air Silk Road and the basic aviation service route network in the province. And an important platform for the navigation hub of short-haul routes for countries along the “Belt and Road”.
The establishment of Kuche Airlines will play an important role in improving the quality of Kuqa development. First of all, the transportation status of Kuqa in Xinjiang has been qualitatively improved. Most of the route networks in Xinjiang are connected to the provincial capital city of Urumqi, while there are few direct flights between other cities and counties, and travel is very inconvenient. For example, Kuqa to Aksu, business contacts and residents are very frequent and close. In the past, riding was the main mode of transportation between the two places. It takes about 3 hours for the Kuche to get to Aksu by car, and the risk of ground traffic in winter is high, which is difficult to guarantee the basic travel demand between the two places. After the opening of the route, the actual flight time of Kuqa to Aksu was less than one hour. The travel time was greatly reduced, and the travel safety was also guaranteed. The most urgent traffic problem between the two places was solved. In the future, Kuche Airlines will continue to open the Kuqa connecting other important cities and counties in the north and south of Xinjiang, as well as the cross-flight routes mainly covering southern Xinjiang, and will build the Kuqa as a hub for the short-haul route of Xinjiang, which will greatly enhance the travel of local residents. Convenience.
Secondly, Kuche Airlines will become a beautiful "business card" in the local area. Speaking of Kuqa, many people only know that it is a city in southern Xinjiang, but what kind of city is Kuqa, and few people say it clearly. As the most advanced mode of transportation, civil aviation has become the most effective means of publicity in the local area due to its fast speed, high grade and wide radiation range. In the future, Kuqa will be associated with civil aviation. People mentioned that Kuqa will think of civil aviation, Kuche’s history, culture, scenery, specialties, etc., along with Kuche’s LOGO “Dapeng Golden-winged Bird”. Famous for all over the world.
Finally, Kuche Airlines will greatly promote the development of local industries. As we all know, the air transport industry chain is long, and it has a strong effect on the upstream and downstream industries. In whichcity or county the navigational short-distance transportation enterprise isregistered, its effect on the industrial belt will be deposited there, and the brand effect of air transportation and the effect of improving the investment environment will be reflected there. Kuche Airlines not only improves the local investment environment through traffic conditions, but also brings civil aviation related industries and talents into the local area, which plays an important role in cultivating and developing new industries and new kinetic energy.
The construction of Kuche Aviation has received the attention of leaders at all levels of Kuche. Less than three months after the registration of Kuche Airlines, the first flight and continuous operation were realized in the capacity procurement mode, which fully reflected the “Kuqi efficiency” and “Xinjiang efficiency”.
At the same time, the reason why Kuche Airlines can start quickly is that the Kuche has chosen the right mode, fully mobilizing and exerting the determination and will of the city and county governments in responding to the national call and establishing navigation. In terms of fund security, environmental construction, and government-enterprise cooperation, it has created a new situation in the development of navigation.
It is reported that this Kuqa Airlines can quickly land, and also benefit from the close cooperation between the Kuche Government and the Aviation Investment Group, which is supported by the company's subsidiaries to provide specialized technology, capabilities and resources. Aviation Investment Group Co., Ltd. (Civil Aviation Investment Fund) is based on the "Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Development of the Civil Aviation Industry". With the consent of the CAB Party Group, it is led by the Civil Aviation Administration, and it is jointly initiated by the major civil aviation enterprises and social capital.

After years of development, Air Investment Group Co., Ltd., in addition to its investment field, utilizes industry resources and in-depth understanding of the industry to open up six comprehensive services including navigation services, civil aviation education and training services, civil aviation new technologies, new products and new applications. Business, while navigating short-distance transportation and integrated services is a fist product. In 2018, the Air Investment Group, atthe invitation of the Pu'er City Government, set up a Pu'er navigation to achieve a new speed of “two months of first flight and one year of evidence collection”. In the past one year, Pu'er Airlines has carried more than 500 passengers per month, and the passenger load factor has exceeded 90%. The comprehensive business index ranks first in the country.
