China News Service, Beijing, April 30 (Zhang Xu) On April 30, the Civil Aviation Administration of China held a press conference. Yu Biao, director of the Transportation Department of the Civil Aviation Administration, said that it is expected that the five-day holiday will transport 2.9 million passengers, an average of about 580,000 passengers per day, a decrease of 66.8% from the same period in 2019, and a daily average passenger this year. Transportation volume increased by 43.2%.
"During the holiday period, the overall passenger load factor of civil aviation flights will be lower than usual, and the average passenger load factor is expected to not exceed 70%." Yu Biao said, "Because of the rapid changes in the market situation during the epidemic, a large number of passengers have temporary ticket purchases or adjustments to itineraries Situation, the actual number of trips is expected to change.

From the specific situation, from April 30 to May 1, it will be the peak of the trip before the festival. Shenzhen, Chengdu, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Xi'an, etc. have more passengers entering and leaving Hong Kong. Unlike the previous year's holiday, this year's "May Day" holiday, the booking volume and passenger load factor of inbound and outbound tourists in major tourist cities were significantly low, indicating that the travel demand for tourism as a destination is still in a downturn.
Yu Biao said that during the "May Day" holiday, the number of passengers transported by civil aviation will be significantly reduced compared with the same period last year. At the same time compared with the previous period, several factors are conducive to the gradual recovery of the current civil aviation market.
First, the situation of domestic epidemic prevention and control continues to improve. Most provinces and cities have lowered the level of risk prevention and control. Especially since today, Beijing has lowered the level of response, which objectively provides good conditions for market recovery.
Secondly, the travel demand of the vast number of passengers has been suppressed for a long time and urgently needs to be released. The "May Day" holiday is extended, the climate is relatively pleasant, and objectively, it can also promote passenger travel.
Third, since the outbreak of the outbreak, the capacity of civil aviation passenger transport has been largely idle, and supply exceeds demand. During the "May Day" period, it should be said that the price of air tickets will be cheaper, and the normality of flights will be higher. This high and low is also very beneficial for passengers to travel.
Yu Biao said that during the holidays, civil aviation will continue to strictly follow the unified deployment and requirements of the joint defense and joint control mechanism of the State Council, pay close attention to the changing trends of domestic and international epidemic situations, and adjust the flight schedule and prevention and control measures according to the plan at any time according to the risk of epidemic situation And all civil aviation units are required to follow the technical guidelines for epidemic prevention and control of transport airlines and transport airports, and do a good job of protection during the entire transportation process to ensure the safe and healthy travel of the majority of passengers.
"At the same time, civil aviation will continue the green channel for route flight approval during epidemic prevention and control, and airlines can adjust or increase capacity at any time according to market demand to meet holiday passenger travel needs." (End)
