Jiemian News previously reported that there will be fewer local epidemics in the southern region in 2020, which will win a good market recovery environment. The low proportion of international routes has unexpectedly become a "protective barrier."
According to the "Statistical Bulletin of Civil Aviation Airport Production in 2020" published by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport is on the list with a passenger throughput of 44 million passengers. It not only ranks first among the major airport groups in my country, but also historically surpasses Atlanta Airport. .
From January to April this year, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport continued its growth momentum. Throughout April, the passenger throughput reached 5,143,800 passengers, a year-on-year increase of 212.61%, and it continued to rank first in terms of airport throughput. The outbreak of the epidemic in Guangzhou in late May will inevitably have an adverse impact on the production and operation of Baiyun Airport in May and the following month.
There is still one month to go before the peak summer season for civil aviation. Civil aviation data analyst Li Hanming analyzed that, unlike the Spring Festival travel, which is relatively regular in population flow, the summer travel, which is dominated by tourist passenger flow, is relatively irregular. Schools and other aspects may remind you. Students and parents try to minimize travel to other places during the summer vacation. "Even if Guangzhou succeeds in controlling the epidemic before the summer vacation, it is difficult for us to see the lively scene of the summer airport and high-speed rail in previous years."
