【双语财讯】春节假期全国民航旅客运输量创历史新高 Airlines see significant recovery in bookings

中国民航局披露的最新数据显示，今年春节8天，全国民航累计运输旅客1799.2万人次，日均运输旅客224.9万人次，创历史新高。

The eight-day Spring Festival holiday that lasted from Feb 10 to Saturday, coupled with relaxed visa polices of several countries, has significantly boosted travel demand and fueled further growth of the air travel market.

长达8天的春节假期（2月10日-2月17日）恰逢我国对多个国家签证政策放松，不仅引爆了出行需求，也推动航空旅行市场规模进一步增长。

During the holiday period, the total number of air passengers handled in China, including via domestic and international flights, reached 17.99 million. The daily average number of passenger trips handled hit 2.25 million, setting a new high, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Over the festival period, the total number of flights operated in China reached 137,000, up 4.9 percent compared with the same period of 2019, or before the COVID-19 pandemic. The figure jumped 33.2 percent year-on-year, the CAAC said.

据国家移民管理局通报，春节期间共有1351.7万人次中外人员出入境，较2023年春节同期增长2.8倍，恢复至2019年春节同期的近九成。

With more flights connecting China and Southeast Asia becoming available, an increasing number of passengers from Southeast Asian countries traveled to or transferred through China during the festival period.

由于中国与东南亚之间的航线增加，春节假期从东南亚国家前往或过境中国的旅客数量也增多了。

Shanghai-based China Eastern Airlines operated more flights to Southeast Asian island destinations to meet growing travel demand from China. During the holiday, the carrier operated more than 2,300 round-trip flights between domestic cities and Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.

总部在上海的中国东方航空增加了中国对东南亚海岛目的地的航线，以满足出行需求。春运期间，东航执行国内至新加坡、吉隆坡、曼谷三地的往返航班量超2300班。

"The visa-free policies of multiple countries and accelerated recovery of international flights have further stimulated Chinese visitors' enthusiasm for traveling abroad," said Fan Dongxiao, director of short-haul outbound tours at Tuniu Corp, a Nanjing, Jiangsu province-based online travel agency.

总部在江苏的途牛旅游门户网站出境短线产品负责人范东晓表示，中国与多国免签的政策和国际航线的加速复苏进一步刺激了中国游客出境游的热情。

In addition, Guangzhou-based China Southern Airlines operated some 25,400 flights during the holiday, up 20.95 percent over the same period of 2019. The carrier handled 4.17 million passenger trips, up 23.25 percent over 2019.

部分旅游热点目的地城市如丽江、大理、海口、三亚、长白山、延吉等也有较为明显的增幅。

Internationally, passengers departing from Frankfurt, Moscow, London, Tokyo, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur during the holiday showed an apparent increase compared with 2019, the airline said.
