China tested two new airports on the Nansha Islands on Tuesday, adding more landing choices for flights across the South China Sea.

A Cessna CE-680 airplane from the Flight Inspection Center of the Civil Aviation Administration of China flew between the new airports on the Meiji and Zhubi reefs.

The two airports are capable of handling civil aviation flights and will facilitate transportation, emergency rescue and medical services for people on the islands.
