In 2021, China's civil aviation completed the total transportation turnover, passenger transportation volume, and cargo and mail transportation volume of 85.7 billion ton-kilometers, 440 million passengers, and 7.32 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.3, 5.5, and 8.2 percentage points, respectively, returning to 2019. 66.3%, 66.8%, 97.2%. This is the data revealed at the 2022 National Civil Aviation Work Conference held on January 10. At the beginning of 2021, the Civil Aviation Administration of China predicted that passenger traffic in 2021 could return to 90% of pre-epidemic levels. The data released today also means that the actual performance of civil aviation in 2021 is far from expected.
The ongoing epidemic and mutated viruses have caused China's civil aviation, which has already begun to recover, to suffer unscheduled blows again. Two consecutive Spring Festival transportation and summer transportation, which were supposed to be the traditional peak seasons, ended prematurely due to the outbreak of local epidemics in some areas. . The impact of the disappearing Spring Festival and Summer Transport is also directly reflected in the airlines’ performance reports. The third quarter of last year was originally the traditional peak season for civil aviation, but most domestic airlines recorded losses. Ten domestic airlines, including unlisted airlines such as Xiamen Airlines and Shenzhen Airlines, suffered a total loss of 11.997 billion in the third quarter. Only one airline achieved profitability: Spring Airlines, the largest low-cost airline in China.
In the first three quarters of last year, ten domestic airlines lost a total of 31.5 billion yuan. (China Business News, Zeta)
