China Aviation News opens 2026 subscriptions as AVIC urges industry-wide participation
The 2026 subscription cycle for China Aviation News has officially begun, marking the latest phase in the publication’s effort to strengthen its role as the authoritative voice of China’s aviation sector. As the official newspaper of the Party Committee of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), the publication remains central to communicating strategy, policy and industry direction across the nation’s aerospace ecosystem.
In recent years, AVIC’s top leadership has repeatedly emphasised the need to elevate the newspaper’s quality and influence. Guidance from the group calls on China Aviation News to embody five key characteristics political alignment, high-end standards, authority, professionalism and depth. These qualities, AVIC says, are essential for fulfilling its mandate to guide public opinion within the aviation sector and support the group’s strategic priorities.
Internally, the newspaper is expected to serve as a core ideological and cultural platform for AVIC, reinforcing Party directives, tracking major national decision making and closely aligning coverage with the group’s primary responsibilities. Externally, the publication continues to assert its role as a leading mainstream outlet in the industry, reporting across the full aviation value chain from research and development to supply networks, manufacturing, operations and innovation.
To ensure the publication maintains its influence and reach, AVIC has placed strong emphasis on widespread subscription participation. All units across the group are required to actively subscribe and extend distribution to senior leaders, departments, teams and frontline work units. The directive underscores AVIC’s view that effective communication is fundamental to organisational cohesion and sector-wide alignment.
The subscription process has also been formalised to improve timeliness and service quality. All units must subscribe directly through the China Aviation News Agency using the designated subscription receipt. Once payment is received, subscribers will be issued an electronic VAT invoice. This centralised approach is intended to strengthen coordination, reduce administrative delays and support the publication’s operational efficiency.
AVIC has set December 15, 2025 as the deadline for completing 2026 subscription orders, urging all units to handle the process diligently and without delay. The Aviation News Agency, in turn, has committed to enhancing editorial standards, enriching reporting and strengthening the newspaper’s overall market awareness to better serve its broad and technically diverse readership.
As China accelerates its ambitions in aerospace and defence from commercial aviation programmes to advanced materials, engines and unmanned systems the role of China Aviation News is expected to expand further. AVIC’s latest directive makes clear that the publication is not merely a newspaper but a strategic asset for shaping discourse and unifying the industry’s direction.
