As of the end of January 2024,China Southern Airlines operates a total of 907 transport aircraft, one aircraft behind Air China's 908 aircraft.
As a result, China Southern Airlines regretted that it once again lost its position as the largest airline in Asia.
Compared to January 2023, the fleet size increased by a net 15 aircraft year-on-year.
In other words, China Southern Airlines has only increased its fleet by 15 aircraft in the past year.
The details are as follows:
According to the production data released by China Southern Airlines in January 2024, China Southern Airlines has two big data that are still very powerful.
First, the passenger volume exceeded 13 million.
In January, China Southern Airlines carried 13.22 million passengers, a year-on-year increase of 401%。
Although China Southern Airlines has one less fleet than Air China, China Southern Airlines carries more than 1 million more passengers than Air China.
China Southern is also the only airline in Asia to exceed 13 million monthly passengers.
From the perspective of traffic volume, China Southern Airlines is still the largest airline in Asia!
Second, the passenger load rate exceeded 80%.
In January, China Southern Airlines' load factor was 81%, up 83 percentage points, which is the only passenger load factor among the three major airlines to exceed 80%.
China Southern Airlines does have its own uniqueness in marketing, as the airline with the largest market share in China, the passenger load factor can reach 81%, which is still very powerful.
The high passenger load rate, generally speaking, will also lead to the improvement of the seat revenue level, which in turn will bring about the improvement of efficiency.
In China's civil aviation industry, China Southern Airlines has the highest share of the domestic market.
In recent years, the domestic market has recovered rapidly, and China Southern Airlines has benefited from this, and the overall efficiency has performed the best among the three major airlines.
It is expected that in 2024, China Southern Airlines' performance will still be the first among the three major airlines.
