  plan

  The flight volume will recover to 88% by the end of January next year

  A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned that recently, the Civil Aviation Administration issued the "Work Plan for the Safe and Orderly Restoration of the Air Transport Market", which made a specific guidance timetable for the phased recovery of the domestic air transport market.

The "Work Plan" guides airlines to steadily resume flights in the following three stages this season.

  In the first phase (from now until January 6, 2023), the maximum daily flight volume will not exceed 11,280 (of which domestic passenger flights will not exceed 9,280).

Restoration is based on 70% of the average daily passenger flight volume in 2019, to ensure that all transport airlines have enough time to complete supplementary training for unqualified personnel and lead flights on routes.

  In the second phase (January 7, 2023 to January 31, 2023), the maximum daily flight volume will not exceed 13,667 (of which domestic passenger flights will not exceed 11,667).

Restoration is based on 88% of the average daily passenger flight volume in 2019 to ensure mitigation of the risk of decline in the proficiency of pilots.

  The third stage (February 1, 2023 to March 25, 2023) is the same as the second stage, and the industry is in a stable recovery period.
