The reporter learned from the Civil Aviation Administration that during the Spring Festival in 2024 (January 26-March 5), the national civil aviation will transport a total of 83.45 million passengers, with a daily average of more than 20860,000 person-times, an increase of 51 compared with the Spring Festival in 20231%, an increase of 145%, passenger traffic hit a record high; A total of 68 flights have been guaranteed30,000 classes, with an average daily guarantee of more than 170,000 classes, an increase of 274%, an increase of 2 from 20197%。During the Spring Festival transportation period, civil aviation transportation continued to show a high-level operation trend, and the demand for passenger transportation was fully released.
During the Spring Festival transportation in 2024, the entire civil aviation industry will focus on creating a "safe, convenient, and warm Spring Festival", improve political position, strengthen responsibility, adhere to the bottom line of safety, scientifically allocate capacity, optimize service measures, overcome the impact of bad weather and emergencies, and successfully complete the Spring Festival transportation guarantee task.
This year's Civil Aviation Spring Festival mainly presents five major characteristics. First, the demand for civil aviation travel is strong. With the continuous improvement of the economic development trend, coupled with the long Spring Festival holiday and the introduction of preferential policies by local cultural and tourism departments, the demand for people to visit relatives and friends and travel is more vigorous. The total passenger volume of the Civil Aviation Spring Festival was 83.45 million, and the average daily passenger volume during the Spring Festival holiday was 22490,000 and other indicators have reached a record high.
Second, the utilization rate of transportation capacity resources has been further improved. The average daily passenger load rate of this year's Spring Festival reached 832%, and the highest daily load factor reached 914%, indicating that the safe and orderly recovery of the air transport market in seven stages last year has achieved remarkable results, and the precise control measures for passenger load factor have achieved targeted efforts, providing more seat supply under the premise of limited growth in flight volume, laying a solid foundation for the safe operation of civil aviation.
Third, the phased characteristics of passenger travel are obvious. Before the Spring Festival holiday, students had holidays, family visits, and travel off-peak, and the number of tourists increased steadily, reaching a pre-holiday peak of 220 on February 7 (the 28th day of the lunar month).80,000 person-times; During the Spring Festival holiday, after the first day of the Lunar New Year, the flow of visiting relatives and tourism is superimposed on each other, and the passenger flow grows rapidly, especially as the Spring Festival holiday enters the second half, the return passenger flow is more concentrated. Since February 14, the single-day passenger volume has exceeded 2.3 million for five consecutive days, and the single-day passenger traffic on February 15 (the sixth day of the first lunar month) hit a record high of 23650,000 person-times; After the Spring Festival holiday, the overall market passenger flow gradually declined, and after the Lantern Festival, a small peak of travel was ushered in.
Fourth, the Spring Festival holiday formed a peak of operation support. Domestically, the top 20 passenger routes accounted for about 8 percent of total passenger traffic5%, the backbone routes between large international hubs such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangrong and other are still popular; The number of "cold travel" in Hainan and other places, and the number of "ice and snow tourism" in Harbin and other places increased significantly, and the passenger load factor continued to be at a high level; In addition, with the improvement of transportation and tourism facilities, more and more people choose to avoid popular tourist attractions and travel to small and medium-sized cities during the Spring Festival holiday. In terms of international and regional destinations, popular destinations are mainly concentrated in neighboring countries and regions, with strong demand for routes from China to Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macao, and airlines have increased capacity investment to these countries and regions in a timely manner to fully meet market demand.
Fifth, bad weather has a wide range of impacts and long durations. During this year's Spring Festival, there was a range of 2** low temperatures, rain, snow and freezing weather that affected the operation. From January 31 to February 5, under the influence of cold air and the strengthening of the southwest warm and humid airflow, the central and eastern parts of China ushered in the first large-scale continuous rain and snow weather during the Spring Festival. From February 20th to February 24th, affected by the strong cold wave, most of the Middle East in China once again ushered in a wide range of rain and snow. Relying on the national-regional-airport collaborative operation mechanism, the whole industry has continuously strengthened the construction of the emergency response capability system with matching operational needs and support capabilities as the main line, with an overall response and safe and stable operation.
