BEIJING – China’s weeklong Lunar New Year holiday, which kicks off on Sunday, will be a key test for its aviation sector. As millions of people travel home to be with their families – the first proper reunions since Covid-19 – the question is whether the same chaos seen at airports in other countries as they reopened will be replicated.
Certainly the desire to travel is there. Flight bookings are up 15 per cent this Lunar New Year versus last, according to Trip.com, while scheduled inbound flights for the first quarter have increased almost 150 per cent compared with the first quarter of 2022, data from aviation analytics company Cirium show.
One factor working in China’s favour is that unlike Western carriers, which grounded planes and furloughed staff at the start of the pandemic and then struggled to add capacity when travel came roaring back, airlines in China have largely continued to operate their fleets domestically throughout. “Executives stuck outside the country for almost three years are keen to get back but they’re also going to be hesitant to put themselves or their teams in harm’s way if there is still any threat of unwarranted hospitalisation,” Mr Noah Fraser, managing director of the Canada China Business Council, said.
