Abstract

With the deepening development of National Airport Economic Zone in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhengzhou and other cities during China’s ‘13 Fifth-Year Plan’ period, the impact of the aviation economy on cities has become increasingly important. The aviation economy has a rapid growth in the regional economy, triggering a dispute between the construction of ‘Aviation hub Cities’ and concept of ‘Smart Cities’. Through the field survey, it has been found that it is a long way to go to drive ‘Smart City’ by aviation. There are five typical models in ‘stably growing aviation economy support hub cities’ in the world: Anglo-American ‘Airport Cities Cluster’, European ‘Integrated Small and Medium Business Airports’, Shanghai ‘One City and Two Regional Airports Transport’, Zhengzhou ‘Aviation Free Trade Zone’ and Hong Kong Airport ‘Integrated Passenger Transport’. This article takes the airline passenger hub city as the entry point, and proposes that the National Airport Economy Zone, such as Guangzhou, should pay attention to the development of passenger transport, convert passengers into tourists, and learn from the experience of domestic and foreign aviation cities through the development of tourism economy, from the inspiration of planning transformation, business philosophy, institutional innovation and publicity and promotion. It is also believed that hub cities such as Zhuhai and Shenzhen should develop aviation flow economy first and then reach the goal of aviation economic development supporting passenger hub city’s development. That is why they can also complete the task of developing the airport economic zone, and eventually develop into an aviation city.
