What is the truth behind the large-scale cancellation of national flights?

The truth behind the large-scale cancellation of national flights circulating on the Internet is that this is the normal state since the outbreak of the epidemic.

First, it was circulated on the Internet that national flights were cancelled on a large scale. Screenshots of large-scale cancellation of airport flights across the country were circulated on the Internet. The report also said that the national flight cancellation rate reached 59.66%.

Second, the high flight cancellation rate is the norm since the outbreak of the epidemic. This cancellation rate has not suddenly reached such a high level today, but has been the norm since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic.

According to the weekly flight statistics released by aviation stewards, China Airlines operates nearly 40,000 flights, which is 46.4% lower than that of 202 1 and 60.7% lower than that before the outbreak.

The flight rate is only 35.9%, which means that more than 60% of the planned flights have been cancelled.

In the first half of 2022, affected by the epidemic, civil aviation is expected to achieve nearly10.20 billion passenger trips in the first half of 2022, which is 63.4% lower than that in 20 19, 20.0% lower than that in 2020 and 52.0% lower than that in 20021year.

From March to April, 2022, regional epidemics occurred in Shenzhen, Shanghai and other places, and regional static management was implemented, resulting in the number of flights and passengers in April hitting a new low in the first half of the year, down 78.5% and 85.2% respectively compared with the same period last year.

An executive of Huaxia Airlines Sales Department said that when booking air tickets, passengers can see multiple flights from A to B in one day. According to statistics, there are not many passengers to B, so passengers will be concentrated on one flight and other flights will be cancelled. What is the flight execution rate? Real flights? With what? Regular flights? Before the epidemic, the proportion of many flights was not implemented for a long time because of the sharp drop in the number of passengers.

However, because airlines want to reserve time and navigation rights, the airline system has to cancel different flights repeatedly every day. Therefore, the cancellation rate has been very high, which is also a reflection of the civil aviation operation in China after the epidemic.
