"你们怎么最近不写写入境游啊？我们航班上的外国旅客现在比疫情前还多出170%—180%，尤其是北京大兴、重庆、厦门 这些航点，老外比例高得惊人。" 我很好奇，追问他现在中国航线是不是主要靠这些入境客人撑起来了。 01 昨天，在一家知名国际航司举办的中国通航纪念午宴上，我碰到了这家航司的销售朋友。 刚坐下没聊几句，他忽然抛出一句话： "现在航司票价利润做上去得靠老外啦，如果一条航线只靠中国市场，我们可能就赚几百块钱，但只要能把全球客源盘 活，这条航线就能赚几千元。" 他顿了顿，又补了一句，"老外愿意来中国了，也意味着我们这些航线，至少都能保住了。" 和他聊完，我忽然想起，9月初我在北京首都机场T3回国时看到的一幕。 自动通关那边一眼望去几乎空无一人，中国旅客刷脸走得飞快，但就在旁边的人工柜台前，乌压压地挤满了各种肤色的外 国人，有拖着箱子的商务客，也有穿T恤背包的游客，粗略一看，起码两三百人。 我站在小火车前和这些老外挤在一起的时候，忽然有种恍惚感，这和2019年，好像也差不太多了。 回到家我查了一下数据。 中国入境免签政策扩容后，确实出现了一个反差很强的现象，出境游还在挣扎，但入境游其实早就开始复苏，而且强劲 ...
