Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, founded in June 1952, is one of the earliest aviation institutions of higher learning in New China.
Adhering to the tradition of "serving the country by air", the people of China Southern Airlines are constantly promoting the leap-forward development of the school. At present, the school has developed into a high-level research university featuring aerospace and civil aviation, combining science with engineering, and coordinating the development of engineering, science, economics, management and literature.
