The 2019 Yaocheng (Taiyuan) International General Aviation Flight Conference opened in Taiyuan, North China's Shanxi province, on Oct 11 -- marking the first general aviation exhibition show held in the province, according to the Shanxi Daily newspaper.

Global flight teams showcased heart-stopping high-altitude aerobatics including rapid pitch, multi-plane formations, rolling and hovering, combining thrills and spills with precision flying.

General aviation is one of the key industries of Shanxi province, as supported by the People's Government of Shanxi.

In 2018, the Shanxi General Aviation Airport Layout Plan (2018-2030) and the Shanxi General Aviation Industry Development Plan (2018-2035) were released.

In December, Shanxi was approved as a demonstration province for the development of the general aviation industry.

In April 2019, four short-distance transport routes and three low-altitude tourism projects in the province were launched simultaneously, marking the beginning of the fast development of Shanxi's general aviation industry.
