According to the data of flights on sale during the peak period of summer transportation last year (July 20th to July 26th), the number of flights on sale during summer transportation will increase by about 7.3% year-on-year in 2025. However, considering the cancellation of flights due to weather and revenue, it is expected that the number of summer passenger flights will increase by about 2.3% year-on-year in 2025, reaching 1.9597 million. ”Li Zhuojun, an analyst at CADAS, a data analysis agency under Feiyou Technology Co., Ltd., stated in an interview with reporters that during this year's summer season, the actual available capacity growth of domestic airlines is limited. Coupled with the longer flight distances caused by the resumption of international routes, the actual capacity growth rate is slightly lower than the demand growth rate, and the supply-demand relationship has improved year-on-year. It is expected that the average ticket price of domestic summer routes will increase year-on-year in 2025. According to data from China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd.

From the perspective of new and encrypted international routes, emerging market countries will become the focus of international route development and opening. (New Society)
