来源：民航之翼 2025 年民航业已稳稳站在常态化发展新起点，旅客运输量创下历史新高，航司盈利实现实质性突破。 迈入 2026 年，行业将迎来供需格局重塑、政策红利释放、创新动能集聚的关键一年，翼哥继续为大家 带来新一年民航十大展望。 整体而言，2026年民航业"中性偏乐观"！ 一、增长新常态：中速增长 2026年将是十五五的开局之年，民航业将迎来一个全新的开始。 2026年，行业将彻底告别以2019年为基准的恢复性话语体系。 民航的增速值得关注。 中央经济工作会提出的"盘活存量、左右增量"对民航业显得尤为重要。 未来对民航业来说，存量越来越大，增量越来越小，甚至有一天增量为负也不是不可能。 过去民航业的增速与GDP的增速有个乘数效应，大概是在1.4-1.5左右。 也就是说，民航业增速是GDP增速的1.4-1.5倍。 但未来可能这个乘数效应慢慢消失，与GDP增速趋同，甚至还低于GDP增速。 预计2026年民航业增速在5%左右，但客座率将维持高位，甚至高于2025年。 2026年将呈现"中速增长、高客座率"的增长新常态。 二、规模新突破：首破8亿人次 2025 年全民航旅客运输量顺利达成 7.7 亿人次的预期目 ...
