The Rationale and Vision of China’s Low-Altitude Economy Development Promotion Law

The low-altitude economy is a comprehensive economic form with a broad span and long chain, and it is an important component of China’s new productive forces. Driven by both market and policy, Chinese legislation on the low-altitude economy should adopt a “sectoral law” paradigm and actively respond to the characteristics driven by technology. In terms of legislative rationale, it should first clearly define the concept of the low-altitude economy, establish a legal regulatory logic that balances “relaxation” and “control”, and use constitutional doctrine to reveal the overall legal value order in this field, which is based on absolute safety in flight services, rational use of low-altitude airspace, and the continuous optimization of the business environment. In the legislative vision, the Law on Promoting the Development of China’s Low-Altitude Economy, serving as the basic law in this sector, aims to protect and stimulate the development of the low-altitude economy industry. The legislative philosophy maintains a rational balance between safety and innovation, focusing on optimizing the allocation of governmental public powers and achieving coordination between public and private law mechanisms through responsibility clauses.
