BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhua) -- China's civil aviation industry saw air passenger volume reach 552 million last year, a 13 percent increase year on year, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

In 2017, the entire industry saw air mail cargo of 7.06 million tonnes, a 5.6 percent increase year on year.

By the end of last year, there were 58 airlines in China, which offered services on 4,418 air routes. The country's civil aviation fleet reached 3,296 aircraft.
