With the arrival of warmer weather, spring agricultural work is underway across China. Scientific and technological potential and support measures are also ensuring the protection of agricultural production.

Currently, approximately 150,000 mu (10,000 hectares) of winter wheat are entering the earing stage in Peng'an County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. Local authorities are taking advantage of the favorable timing by deploying several intelligent drones to protect the crops, implementing a unified pest and disease control program. Technology and agricultural machinery are also simultaneously helping prepare the seedlings.

At a thousand-meter vegetable base in Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the mass harvest of winter vegetables, planted in continuous rows, has begun. Vegetable growers, spread out across the fields, skillfully pick, sort, tie, and stack the produce into baskets. Taking advantage of the favorable location and climate of the Yujiang River Valley, local authorities are actively developing vegetable farming. Currently, annual vegetable production in the Yujiang region exceeds 480,000 tons, of which approximately 200,000 tons are annually shipped to the Greater Bay Area.

In Yining County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, the spring migration of 118,000 head of livestock has begun. Shepherds, along with their flocks of sheep and cattle, set out from winter pastures to spring pastures or to their permanent homes. The spring migration is the most important of all seasonal migrations for livestock herders. During this time, mostly pregnant sheep are moved, and the success of the migration directly impacts the herders' annual income. Local authorities have set up service stations along the route to ensure the successful migration.

NordStar Airlines presented the results of the federal "Labor Productivity" project. The results were announced during a visit by Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov to NordStar Airlines' aircraft maintenance shop at Krasnoyarsk Airport on March 11, 2026.

The "Labor Productivity" project is a federal-level initiative that is part of the national "Efficient and Competitive Economy" project. Its primary goal is to support businesses in non-resource industries by providing expert assistance in eliminating deficiencies in the production process and training employees in modern methods for improving labor efficiency.

As a result of the project, NordStar Airlines was able to increase the efficiency of its maintenance shop by 2025. Key achievements include:

– Improving overall labor efficiency;

– Recertification according to the requirements of FAP-145;

– Expanding the competencies of aircraft maintenance personnel.

The new competencies developed have enabled a significant reduction in the time required for basic aircraft maintenance (in-depth aircraft maintenance every 24 months), while average annual output has increased by 45% compared to the 2023 baseline.

In addition, maintenance shop staff began independently repairing removable onboard galley equipment and the aircraft's water system, which resulted in significant savings of up to 11 million rubles per year.

NordStar Airlines, as an aircraft maintenance organization, successfully completed recertification according to FAP-145 requirements and expanded its scope of operations by receiving a B1 rating, which allows it to perform engine preservation and depreservation procedures on the ground.

Over the past year, 138 A-check aircraft maintenance procedures (regular aircraft maintenance every 1,000 flight hours) were carried out, and C-check maintenance was performed on four NordStar aircraft.

"I'm pleased to note that NordStar Airlines' performance as an aircraft maintenance organization is showing positive momentum. Last year, we achieved significant results, increasing labor productivity thanks to highly skilled personnel, the use of modern technical equipment, and access to up-to-date technical documentation. Ambitious goals are planned for 2026: expanding the scope of our aircraft structure repair and manufacturing operations using high-tech machine tools. NordStar Airlines continues to consistently strive to enhance the professional skills of its employees and maintain its leading position in ensuring the reliability and high quality of service for the airline's fleet," emphasized Leonid Mokhov, CEO of NordStar Airlines.
