• Return to Operations - Focus on China
o For the three weeks beginning May 11, scheduled domestic capacity was 80% as much
as a year earlier or just below, compared with an average of 63% for most of March and April. This has since increased to 88% and the schedules for next week show 96% of last year’s equivalent domestic capacity is planned
o Domestic passenger load factors have been weak. For May, the average was 65.2% with only a faint upward trend, according to Chinese data firm Variflight. This is not a result of regulation: there is no limit in China on passenger load factors or spacing on domestic flights to minimize infection, though international flights cannot be more than 75% full.
