都说民航是"看天吃饭"的行业，航司能不能赚钱，就和天气一样难预测。 行业的整体盈利有多薄？国际航协 （IATA）有个令人咋舌的比喻：苹果公司卖一个iPhone手机壳，都 比航空公司运一名客人赚得多——后者平均利润只有7.9美元。 薄利是全球航空业的共同现实，而对于刚走出多年亏损阴影的中国航司巨头来说，挑战显得尤其严峻。 2020年至2024年，国航、东航和南航累计亏损高达2064亿元。直到今年三季度末，三大航才终于"咸鱼 翻身"，前三季度合计盈利62.8亿元。 但全年下来能否盈利？仍然存在变数。 环球旅讯特约评论员高思伟指出，今年前三季度的整体盈利，很大程度上依赖第三季度的强劲表现，其 实是"用Q3旺势，填平Q1和Q2的亏损"。 2025年暑运期间，全国民航平均客座率达到约84.8%的高位，反映出旺季国内出行需求强劲。 在这一背 景下，国内航线的市场定价能力有所修复，高峰时段主要干线的票价也呈现一定支撑。 也正因为如此，三季度的盈利更像一次"结构性修复"，而非单点运气。 其中，国内市场的作用并不在于创造高利润率，而在于通过高客座率和规模化运行，在旺季阶段形成了 可留存的现金流与利润基础。 真正的考验，集中在第 ...
