China's air traffic control system has handled over 10 million sorties and ensured their safety in the past 8 years.

The air traffic control system has upgraded its equipment to ensure flight safety.

Air traffic control-related accidents have decreased sharply in the past few years. From 1998 to 2001, less than 7 such accidents happened each year, setting the best record in China's aviation industry.

The figures were publicized at an academic meeting on air traffic management held here Tuesday.
