China’s international air travel market will extend its recovery, with the nation’s aviation regulator expecting the number of weekly flights to hit about 80% of the pre-Covid level by the end of the year.
Weekly international passenger flights may increase to 6,000 by the end of 2024, from more than 4,600 currently, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said in a statement following its annual work meeting. There were fewer than 500 flights per week at the beginning of 2023, it said.
