MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview of Aeronautical Business
In the first half of 2024, the domestic aviation market of the PRC recovered steadily, while the recovery of the international aviation market remained relatively sluggish as affected by the global environment, geopolitical tensions and other factors. Beijing Capital Airport witnessed a steady recovery in air traffic volumes.
In the first half of 2024, with the recovery of the domestic aviation market, the air traffic volumes of domestic routes (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) of Beijing Capital Airport rebounded steadily. The air traffic volumes of international routes recovered gradually with the international aircraft movements and passenger throughput increasing significantly as compared to the same period of the previous year by virtue of the continuous relaxation of travel restrictions and the increasing international mobility. In respect of the air traffic volumes of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan routes, both the aircraft movements and passenger throughput of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan routes recovered significantly as compared with the same period of the previous year, which have similarly benefited from the recovery of regional routes and passenger demand. Overall, the cumulative aircraft movements at Beijing Capital Airport reached 211,420 sorties, representing an increase of approximately 20.2% as compared with the same period of the previous year. The cumulative passenger throughput reached 32,703,380 person-times, representing an increase of approximately 41.6% as compared with the same period of the previous year. The cumulative cargo and mail throughput reached 704,681 tonnes, representing an increase of approximately 48.9% as compared with the same period of the previous year.
