Airlines Looking To Utilize Lower-Capacity Aircraft For Long-Haul | 航空公司希望利用中型飞机进行长途飞行

航空公司逐步淘汰四发宽体机,转向使用包括单通道飞机在内的更小、更省油的双发飞机,而这一转变趋势目前正在加速。

A trend among airlines of phasing out four-engine widebody aircraft in favor of smaller, more fuel-efficient two-engine aircraft, including narrowbodies, has accelerated.

由于商务旅行和远程飞行预计将是航空运输市场在新冠疫情中恢复最慢的部分,因此航空公司正在寻求利用客座量较低的飞机来运营远程航线,而且许多航空公司已将其A380和波音747永久性的停飞。

With business travel and long-haul international flying expected to be the slowest to recover from the pandemic, airlines are looking to utilize lower-capacity aircraft to operate long-haul routes, and many are permanently parking their Airbus A380s and Boeing 747s. 

 

疫情的流行驱使空客和波音都削减了他们双发宽体机的生产。虽然航空公司仍在订购宽体机,但数量已经较少。

The pandemic has driven both Airbus and Boeing to slash production on their popular twin-engine widebodies. Airlines are still ordering them, but in smaller numbers.
