到2020年, 國內航線客運票價將由市場定

The Civil Aviation Administration of China has pledged to gradually loosen control over air carriers' ticket prices and administrative charges.

中國民用航空總局近日表示，將逐步放開機票價格及行政性收費。

The administration recently published a set of guidelines that aim to deepen the reform of China's civil aviation industry. The guidelines vow to let the market, rather than the government, play a decisive role in the sector.

總局最近公佈了一系列指導方針，旨在深化中國民航業的改革。這些指導方針將會推行市場而不是政府決定價格的機制。

Enterprises in the industry will have more freedom to determine charges for their services or products, and consumers will enjoy more options when they use air transportation, the administration said.

航空總局表示，該行業中的部分企業將獲得更多的自由，以規定他們的服務或產品費用。消費者在利用航空運輸時也會有更多的選擇。

Beginning next year, airlines will be allowed to determine the ticket prices for routes that the government defines as having competition among carriers. Starting in 2020, they will be allowed to decide the prices for all routes.

2017年起，政府定義的已經形成競爭的國內航線將會允許航空公司自主定價。2020年起，國內所有航線客運票價將由航空公司自主制定。

Currently, carriers can only determine the lowest price for their domestic flights. The highest price for such flights and prices for international services are controlled by the government.

目前，航空公司僅有權決定其國內航線的最低票價，國內航線的最高票價以及國際航線票價需執行政府指導價。

The move is the latest step taken by the CAAC as part of its efforts to "marketize" the civil aviation sector.

這項舉措是由民航總局努力實現民航部門“市場化”的最新動作。
