On March 25, Chengdu had a clear sky. A standard-painted Sichuan Airlines A320 passenger plane and Wofei Changkong AE200 electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL) were parked side by side at Shuangliu Airport. This “same frame” picture of traditional aviation and future transportation opened a new chapter in low-altitude economic development.


In 2025, a change in the future of travel is about to begin.

Imagine that when passengers get off the plane from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, they only need to tap their mobile phones to make an “air taxi” and fly to the city in 3 minutes. They only need to pay a few hundred yuan to avoid ground traffic congestion and save a lot of time. This kind of travel is becoming a reality.

The first “same frame”

On March 25, the sky in Chengdu was clear. A Sichuan Airlines A320 passenger plane and a Wofei Changkong AE200 electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL) parked side by side at Shuangliu Airport. This “same frame” picture of traditional aviation and future transportation has opened a new chapter in low-altitude economic development.

Under the warm spring sunshine, Sichuan Wofei Changkong Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Wofei Changkong”) and Tonghang Investment Company, a subsidiary of Sichuan Aviation Group Co., Ltd., officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. At the signing ceremony, Guo Liang, CEO and chief scientist of Wofei Changkong, said that this strategic cooperation is the first joint cooperation between domestic eVTOL host enterprises and civil aviation transport airlines, and it is also an important step taken by Wofei Changkong on the road to eVTOL commercialization.

Guo Liang, CEO of Wofei Changkong, painted such a longing picture at the scene: it only takes 3 minutes from Shuangliu Airport to the Ouzhou Center of the High-tech Zone, and the journey from the airport to Jiuzhaigou will be compressed from several hours by land to half an hour in the air - this is the “civil aviation + low-altitude travel” connection service planned by both sides. In the future, after arriving in Chengdu by Sichuan Airlines, passengers may be able to book the connection combination of “airplane + flying car” with one click, and seamlessly connect to the city center, scenic spots and even surrounding cities through eVTOL.
