The Chinese mainland's civil aviation sector is all set for a record-breaking Labor Day holiday! With an anticipated 10.75 million air travelers over the five-day break, expect around 2.15 million journeys each day—a fresh 8% increase from last year. Peak days on May 1 and 5 could see over 2.3 million trips each, marking a new holiday record. ✈️
Domestic routes are buzzing, connecting major clusters like Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and Chengdu-Chongqing. Popular tourist spots such as Xishuangbanna, Lijiang, and Lhasa are also gearing up to welcome eager travelers.
International travel is hitting a high since early this year, with Japan, the Republic of Korea, and various Southeast Asian nations topping the list. Eased visa policies and streamlined tax refunds are boosting arrivals, prompting airlines to up their game with 88,000 scheduled flights—plus an extra 173 flight plans approved.
However, with high temperatures and potential heavy rainfall on the horizon, airline operators are keenly focused on safety measures and weather responses so that all journeys remain smooth and secure. Get ready for a Labor Day filled with excitement and travel opportunities! 🌞
