《关于外商投资民用航空业有关政策的通知》若干问题的解释的通知(附英文)
《关于外商投资民用航空业有关政策的通知》若干问题的解释的通知(附英文)
中国民航总局、对外贸易经济合作部
《关于外商投资民用航空业有关政策的通知》（以下简称《通知》）的颁布，是我国扩大对外开放的又一重大举措。为了使该《通知》得到正确理解和贯彻执行，现对《通知》若干问题解释如下：
一、关于《通知》第一项第一点允许外商投资建设机场的范围问题，对飞行区的投资，除包括跑道、滑行道、停机坪外，还包括助航灯光。
二、关于投资问题，《通知》第一项第二点内“中方投资在51％以上”与该项第一点后半句“中方出资应在企业注册资本中占51％以上”的含义相同，均指中方出资在企业注册资本中所占的比例。
三、关于出资比例问题
《通知》第一项第一点机场飞行区单项建设、或者与该项第二点所列配套项目中的任一项或多项一起建设或机场整体建设设立中外合资或中外合作企业时，中方出资均应占企业注册资本的51％以上，董事长、总经理由中方人员担任；
《通知》第一项第二点候机楼单项建设，或与该项所列配套项目中的任一项或多项一起建设设立中外合资或中外合作企业时，中方出资均应占企业注册资本的51％以上，董事长、总经理由中方人员担任；
《通知》第一项第二点外商投资民用机场飞行区设立的中外合资企业、中外合作企业为了扩大经营范围从事该项所列配套项目的经营而需要增加投资时，中方出资仍须占该企业注册资本的51％以上，并按规定程序报批。
四、关于《通知》第二项所述“外商投资设立航空运输企业”，是指外商投资现有的航空运输企业，须按外商投资企业设立的条件进行审批，并不是另设立新的航空运输企业。根据国务院去年关于暂停审批成立新的航空公司的决定，目前只允许外商投资现已依法设立的航空运输企业。
五、关于《通知》第二项第二点互相参股问题，是指中外航空运输企业在对等的条件下相互持有对方的股份，以便在市场经营上进行有效的合作，相互都不派员进入对方的管理层参与具体的经营管理。
六、关于《通知》第二项第三点所述选择一、二家航空运输企业进行试点问题。经批准现正在进行股份制改造试点并准备到境外上市的中国东方、南方航空公司属于本通知试点范围。增加新的试点企业，由民航总局另行决定并予以公布。
七、关于外商在航空运输企业的投资比例，外商以本规定的任何方式投资中国的航空运输企业，其在该航空运输企业的注册资本或实收资本中所占比例均不得超过35％，其代表在董事会的表决权不得超过25％，在股东会或股东大会的表决权也不得超过25％。
八、关于《通知》第二项第六点所述“国内同类企业”，是指现有的非外商投资的国内航空运输企业；所谓“各项税收”，主要是指在航空器和航空器材进口关税、企业所得税等方面，两者享受同等待遇，以创造平等竞争的环境。
九、关于农林业通用航空，《通知》第三项规定外商可以投资农林业通用航空企业，农林业航空以外的其他通用航空企业不在允许外商投资的范围。
十、《通知》第五项内所谓“依法”，是指依据国家法律、行政法规、民航总局规章及有关规定。
十一、台湾、香港、澳门的公司、企业和其他经济组织或者个人投资或参股大陆的民用航空企业，也参照本解释执行。
