After Peak Season Setback, Chinese Airlines Resume Growth | 疫情高峰期后,中国航空公司恢复增长

中国的国内市场是2020年第一个受到新冠疫情打击的国家,但也是第一个市场发生反弹的国家。

China’s domestic market was the first to be hit hard by COVID-19 in 2020 and was also the first to rebound.

尽管中国航空公司在2020年发生了巨额亏损,但由于其庞大的国内市场已在过去几个月中恢复了复苏势头,他们仍比亚洲大多数航空公司处于更有利的地位。

Although Chinese airlines have reported huge losses for 2020, they are still in a stronger position than most others in Asia, thanks to a massive domestic market that has regained its recovery momentum in the past few months.

 

到2020年为止,中国市场容量和需求一直稳定增长,直到2021年初新一波感染导致市场规模急剧下降,从而影响了春季假期的传统旺季。

Capacity and demand built steadily through last year, until a new wave of infections in early 2021 caused a sharp drop that affected the peak spring holiday season. 

2021年2月11-17日的中国农历新年“黄金周”旅客数量与2020年同期相比下降了45%,与2019年黄金周相比下降了72%。航班数量与2020年相比下降了52%,与2019年相比下降了58%。

Passenger numbers for the Lunar New Year “golden week” period of Feb. 11-17 were down 45% compared with 2020 and down 72% versus golden week in 2019. Flight numbers were down 52% compared with 2020 and 58% versus 2019.

但是从那以后,运力就恢复了上升的趋势,现在又回到了疫情流行前的水平。

But capacity has resumed its upward climb since then and is now back above pre-pandemic levels.
