Core Viewpoint - The "anti-involution" policy is expected to promote deeper reforms across various industries, particularly benefiting the transportation sector, including aviation, express delivery, and bulk supply chain operations, potentially improving industry profitability if implemented effectively [3]. Aviation - The "anti-involution" initiative will enhance revenue management strategies, ensuring a slow growth in fleet planning. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has emphasized the need to address low-efficiency, homogeneous competition, which has led to excessive low pricing and capacity deployment [4]. - In 2024, airlines are shifting their revenue management strategy from "ticket price priority" to "seat occupancy priority," which is expected to improve fleet turnover and occupancy rates. However, despite record high occupancy rates in the second half of 2024, ticket prices remain below 2019 levels, which may hinder the industry's recovery [4]. - The ongoing improvement in supply and demand since 2025, along with the initial positive changes in revenue management strategies, suggests that the "anti-involution" policy will help reduce excessive low pricing and support the recovery of industry profitability [4]. Express Delivery - The "anti-involution" policy is anticipated to foster a healthy competitive pricing environment in the express delivery sector.
