Abstract: Promoting the coordinated development of aviation logistics and foreign investment is the basic path for aviation logistics to serve the country’s opening-up policy. Based on the panel data from 2009 to 2018, the gray correlation evaluation model and the coupling coordination degree model are constructed, and the coupling coordination between Chinese aviation logistics and foreign investment level is empirically analyzed from countries, regions and provinces. The results show that Chinese aviation logistics and foreign investment level are in a "good correlation stage" as a whole, but the coupling coordination among the seven regions is obviously polarized. In addition, there are totally different changes and distribution patterns in time and space of the coupling coordination degree between the two in 31 provinces. Therefore, China should formulate the development policy of aviation logistics industry according to the needs of foreign investment environment construction, so as to effectively promote the coupling coordination of the two.

Key words: aviation logistics, foreign investment, coupling coordination degree model, gray correlation analysis method
