China to brace for holiday rush

雙節臨近航空需求旺盛

China's air travel sector has recovered significantly and is expected to brace for a holiday travel rush as National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival are around the corner, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said on Tuesday.

中國民航局9月15日稱，航空旅遊業已大幅復甦，隨着國慶節和中秋節的臨近，預計將迎來假日旅遊高峯。

Jin Junhao, deputy director of the administration's transportation department, said the country will lift restrictions on the limit of weekly flights on 49 domestic air routes, giving carriers more flexibility to operate passenger flights involving airports in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, among other busy airports.

民航局運輸司副司長靳軍號表示，我國將放開49條國內航線每週最大航班量限制，使航空公司獲得更大的靈活性運營北京、上海、廣東廣州等城市繁忙機場的客運航班。

The regulator also eased access for airlines to operate regional flights linking smaller airports with major hubs in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, to help airlines tap into potential markets, as well as promote the recovery of small and medium-sized airports, he said.

民航局還放寬了涉及“北上廣”三大機場支線航線准入限制，以幫助航空公司開拓潛在市場，推動中小型機場的復甦。

According to online travel agency Tongcheng-eLong, flight ticket prices have seen a significant increase ahead of the holiday, and the average ticket price of round trips is close to what it was in the same period last year.
