A new helicopter passenger route between Nantong, Jiangsu Province, and Shanghai was launched on February 20, cutting travel time from two hours by ground to just 40 minutes. Operating twice daily at peak times, the 123-kilometer route offers commuters both speed and aerial views of the Yangtze River's urban landscapes. This launch is part of China's expanding low-altitude economy, a sector expected to reach 1.5 trillion yuan (over $200 billion) this year, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
