DATA SPOTLIGHT: China

17 March, 2020

This year The Blue Swan Daily will feature some of the leading airlines, airports and country markets for air travel. Here, using the extensive profile insights available to CAPA – Centre for Aviation members to deliver a data snapshot, we look at China, which appears to be showing the first green shoots of recovery after being hit hard by the first phase of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

A new report from aviation intelligence provider CAPA – Centre for Aviation suggests that latest data shows there may be some “glimmers of hope”. While it is certainly too early to call this a stabilisation of Chinese air travel, there is more normality returning to the domestic market. However, as CAPA acknowledges, “it will take more weeks to see if planned capacity increases are being met by demand”.

The first of a new weekly CAPA Membership series, the insight report looks in depth at forward or leading indicators of future demand. China, the world’s second biggest aviation market, China, was first into this crisis. It asks: are there signs of stabilisation there? And if so, could this provide a guide to other markets that are now in free fall?
