This is a microcosm of the accelerated recovery of China's air transport market with the recent optimization and adjustment of the exit entry policy.

Recently, the Work Plan for Safe and Orderly Recovery of Air Transport Market issued by the Civil Aviation Administration proposed to take three steps to gradually recover air transport in a safe and orderly manner. From the release date of the work plan to the Spring Festival in 2023, the flight volume is planned to recover to the level of 88% before the outbreak of the epidemic.

According to the work plan, the first phase is from December 14 to January 6, 2023, and the maximum daily flight volume in this phase does not exceed 11280; The second phase is from January 7, 2023 to January 31, 2023. The maximum daily flight volume in this phase does not exceed 13667; The third phase is from February 1, 2023 to March 25, 2023, with the same flight volume as the second phase, which is in a stable recovery period.

Influenced by this favorable policy, major domestic and foreign airlines have announced plans to resume international routes.

"Since 2023, the operation of all international routes and their corresponding weekly flights will be resumed." On December 20, Auspicious Airlines announced the operation plan of 2023 international key routes and the plan for the introduction of new aircraft. The international routes to be recovered include those from Shanghai, Nanjing and other places to Tokyo, Nagoya, Sapporo, Jeju Island and other Japanese and Korean routes, as well as Southeast Asian routes to Bangkok, Phuket, Kalibo and other places.

Wang Junjin, chairman of Lucky Airlines, said, "We are pleased to see that market confidence is gradually recovering, and the search volume of passenger tickets has also increased to a large extent during the Spring Festival. The aviation industry is recovering, and Lucky Airlines will also provide passengers with the same reassuring and comfortable flight experience as before by introducing more new routes and new products."

It is revealed that Lucky Air will also actively plan a number of long-distance intercontinental routes, including Shanghai to Athens, Brussels, Sydney, Melbourne and other places, and Zhengzhou to Milan, Paris, New York and other places, initially forming a global route network covering China and regions, Southeast Asia, Europe, America and Australia; At the same time, we can reach more international destinations by taking advantage of the combined transport advantages of our partner airlines.

Not only the passenger routes, but also the news of the opening of international freight routes has been frequently heard recently. At 8:00 a.m. on December 17, Hainan Airlines' Tianjin Airlines GS7957 flight loaded with cross-border e-commerce materials flew from Chongqing Jiangbei Airport to Minsk National Airport, marking the smooth opening of Tianjin Airlines' charter flight from Chongqing to Minsk. In terms of aircraft type selection, Tianjin Airlines uses A330 wide body aircraft for passenger to cargo charter transportation, and makes full use of the cabin layout to meet the cargo transportation demand to the maximum extent, with the maximum cargo capacity of 40 tons.

Minsk National Airport is located in the middle of Minsk State of the Republic of Belarus. It is a 4F international airport and the largest airport in Belarus. In recent years, the passenger and cargo throughput of Minsk National Airport has continued to grow, ranking first in Belarus. Tianjin Airlines opened the "passenger to cargo" charter flight from Chongqing to Minsk this time, which is another measure to develop the international "passenger to cargo" business, aiming to continue to help the construction of domestic and foreign air logistics channels and make positive contributions to the global economic recovery.

According to the observation report of Huacheng import and export data, since the outbreak of the epidemic, Tianjin Airlines has actively expanded the "passenger to cargo" business, operating routes to nine countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Romania, Australia, Russia and Belarus, and has transported about 4073 tons of materials overseas since 2022.

In addition, recently, the relevant person in charge of Hainan Provincial Department of Commerce also said that recently, Hainan has successfully resumed cargo flights with Asian, European countries and Australia. Among them, flights from Haikou to Milan, Paris, Sydney, Singapore and Zurich are being resumed, which will help to increase the supply of duty-free stores in Hainan. In the future, Hainan Province will steadily and orderly restore, encrypt or open new international routes from Haikou to Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States, and gradually build a competitive international route network to make duty-free goods enter the island more quickly and conveniently.
