Jayud established Jiniu Aviation in 2021 to capitalize on China's rapidly expanding low-altitude economy sector. The Company maintains a 51% ownership stake in the subsidiary, which operates in Shenzhen's Longgang District and provides integrated aviation services, including intelligent control systems, satellite remote sensing applications, and CAAC-licensed training programs.
The low-altitude economy represents a significant growth opportunity in China's aviation sector, encompassing applications in logistics, agriculture, emergency services, and infrastructure inspection. Jiniu Aviation's comprehensive certification positions Jayud to participate in this expanding market while complementing the Company's existing logistics operations.
Operational Integration and Growth Plans
Jiniu Aviation's services extend beyond traditional pilot training to include industrial applications that align with Jayud's logistics expertise.

The Company plans to expand Jiniu Aviation's training capabilities to 12 additional cities, including Xi'an, Lanzhou, Nanning, and Meizhou. Future initiatives include developing a 5,000 square meter (approximately 54,000 square foot) youth research and education base featuring drone technology, AI robotics, and artificial intelligence training programs. Additionally, Jiniu Aviation plans to launch specialized technical certification programs for aircraft assembly, debugging, and maintenance to address the growing demand for skilled technicians in the drone industry.
China's expanding drone market, forecast to grow at a 25.6 percent compound annual growth rate from 2024 to 2029 and surpass 600 billion yuan ($81.9 billion) by 2029, is driving increased demand for professional training services.

The subsidiary's expansion supports Jayud's broader strategy of diversifying service offerings while maintaining focus on supply chain solutions. Jiniu Aviation's integration with Jayud's existing logistics network creates opportunities to develop "aerial logistics" transportation platforms with fixed route services, potentially enhancing the Company's overall logistics efficiency and service capabilities.
