Abstract:

In recent years,general aviation industry has been listed as new economic growing point by a number of provinces and cities. China's regional general aviation development evaluation system coping with industry development is rare. China's regional general aviation development evaluation system is built from the economies scale,industry maturity,industry contribution,infrastructure and policy environment,calculating the 2012 index by cluster analysis and AHP_ entropy. It is found that the development of China's general aviation industry has over-reliance on government policy,meanwhile the imbalance of the industrial system reduces the national competitiveness. Developing gaps between different regions have been initially apparent,local resources and government support are the leading factors.

Key words: general aviation, development index, empirical study
