9. The international passenger volume of listed airlines in September rebounded significantly
Recently, listed airlines have also disclosed their operating conditions in September. Data released show that the overall supply and demand of major airlines is still hovering at a low level. By business, the international passenger volume of airlines such as China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, and HNA has achieved year-on-year and month-on-month growth.
HNA Holdings announced on the evening of October 17 that in September this year, the company and its subsidiaries ("Group") carried 1.2765 million passengers, a month-on-month decrease of 49.25% and a year-on-year decrease of 62.29%. Among them, the decline in passenger capacity is mainly due to the decrease in domestic passenger capacity. In the international business segment, the group carried about 12,600 passengers in September, an increase of 22.05% month-on-month and 116.75% year-on-year.
In addition, the group's passenger capacity investment in September (based on available passenger kilometers) increased by 186.38% year-on-year, and the international part of passenger turnover (based on revenue passenger kilometers) increased by 99.10% year-on-year.
HNA Holdings also disclosed that the group added new Haikou-Paris passenger and cargo charter routes and Beijing-Manchester-Nanjing passenger charter routes that month.
South China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines have also announced relevant data. The decline in passenger data of the two major airlines also mainly comes from domestic routes, while international routes are showing a recovery trend.
In September, China Southern Airlines and its subsidiaries' passenger capacity investment (based on available seat kilometers) decreased by 33.79% year-on-year, of which the domestic market fell by 35.84% year-on-year, and the regional and international markets increased by 227.66% and 17.01% year-on-year, respectively; passenger turnover (based on revenue passenger kilometers) decreased by 34.38% year-on-year, of which the domestic market fell by 36.59% year-on-year, and the regional and international markets increased by 359.61% and 33.77% year-on-year, respectively; the passenger occupancy rate was 68.26%, down 0.62 percentage points year-on-year, of which the international markets increased by 8.38 percentage points year-on-year.
During the same period, China Eastern Airlines' international passenger capacity investment (based on available seat kilometers) and international passenger turnover increased by 13.07% and 25.06% year-on-year respectively. At the same time, the airline's international passenger occupancy rate also increased by 6.28 percentage points to 65.55%.
Judging from the industry-wide data, with the loosening of international policies, the number of international passenger flights is gradually recovering. Flight manager data shows that in September, domestic airlines operated about 35 passenger flights per day on international routes, an increase of 24.5% month-on-month, and an average daily capacity of 10,147 seats, an increase of 26.5% month-on-month.
Regarding the performance of the civil aviation industry market, Guosen Securities said that the epidemic has continued to disturb, and the short-term fundamentals are still under pressure, but the impact on stock prices has weakened. Civil aviation will usher in the winter and spring seasons at the end of October, and the number of international flights is expected to recover further.
Guosen Securities said that the operating data of airlines in September hovered at a low level, but as international routes gradually worked overtime, the international route volume of airlines has increased significantly compared to a few months ago. In addition, the current fare reform continues to advance, and the ceiling of full-price tickets for core public and business trunk lines is continuously pushed up, accumulating flexibility for freight prices after the reversal of supply and demand in the future.
