School fosters professional skills needed to grow low-altitude economy

With the industry scale of China's low-altitude economy expected to reach over $275 billion by 2030, schools and training centers are being established across the country to meet the professional skills needed.

In Guangzhou, Guangdong province, drones delivering packages to skyscrapers and urban villages, conducting aerial city tours and inspecting road conditions have become a common sight.

The Guangzhou city government last year released a plan aiming for its low-altitude economy to reach a value of 150 billion yuan ($20.66 billion) by 2027.
