Control Policy for Int’l Flights to End After Restrictions Ease

Authorities to cancel caps on number of flights, quarantine requirement from Jan 8

China's reopening of its borders in January 2023 will definitely contribute to the recovery of the Asia-Pacific region

The CAAC authority will strengthen the management of the price of international flights in accordance with bilateral air transport agreements and relevant laws, inspect unfair competition in ticket prices, maintain a reasonable price in the air transport market and protect the rights and interests of customers and operators.

"Lifting certain control measures for inbound international flights and removing quarantine for inbound passengers is a positive step for China, as regional vice-president for North Asia at the International Air Transport Associationsaid.

The civil aviation sector should be fully prepared to allocate sufficient resources to meet the surge in travel, in order to avoid disruptions and other problems seen in other places across the world when borders reopened.

China's quarantine measures have slowed the recovery of air travel in the Asia-Pacific region compared with other parts of the world.

By the end of 2022, passenger traffic in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to recover to 44 percent of the level in 2019, while other major regions have already recovered to 80 to 90 percent of the level in 2019.

According to the industry outlook released by IATA at the beginning of this month, if China gradually eases restrictions in the second half of 2023, passenger traffic in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to recover to about 70 percent of the amount in 2019.

The policy adjustment will greatly release demand to cross the border, which has been controlled for three years.

Airlines, airports, air traffic control and other departments should be prepared for safety issues and offer high-quality service 

//////////

Compared with prices before the epidemic, the prices of international passenger and cargo transportation are higher, mainly because there are fewer flights, and airlines and airports have to share fixed costs among a small number of passengers and cargo.

From Oct 31 to Nov 6 this year, the country operated 1,029 international flights. Last week, it operated 1,474 international flights.

And after that, main Chinese airlines are planning more International flights in January 2023. Let’s keep focusing on it.
