Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recovery of the China-Canada flight routes following the resumption of group travel for Chinese citizens to Canada, highlighting significant increases in flight searches and ticket sales, while noting that the recovery rate remains low compared to pre-pandemic levels [3][4]. Flight Recovery Status - The search volume for flights to Canada has significantly increased after the announcement of resumed group travel [3]. - From January to October 2025, international ticket volume to Canada increased by 28.1% compared to the same period last year [3]. - The number of round-trip flights on the China-Canada route reached 319 in October 2025, a year-on-year increase of over 2.5 times [3]. - However, the current recovery rate of flights between China and Canada is only 35.6% compared to the same period in 2019, similar to the 29.7% recovery rate for China-US routes [3][4]. Factors Affecting Recovery - The slow recovery of China-Canada flights is partly due to restrictions imposed by Canada on the number of flights operated by Chinese airlines, initially limiting them to no more than six round-trip flights per week [4]. - As of October 25, 2024, Canada lifted the restriction on direct flights from Beijing but still allows only 24 flights per week, significantly lower than the pre-pandemic level of over 70 flights per week [4]. - Currently, six Chinese airlines operate on the China-Canada route, with Air Canada being the only Canadian airline [4]. Airline Performance - Domestic airlines account for 67.4% of the flight volume on the China-Canada route, with the three major airlines having a nearly equal share [5]. - Despite a year-on-year increase of over 2.1 times in Air Canada's flight volume in October, it remains 65.3% lower than in 2019 [8]. - The need to avoid Russian airspace has led Air Canada to prioritize more profitable Atlantic routes, limiting its capacity on the China-Canada route [8]. International Route Dynamics - The recovery situation for China-US routes mirrors that of China-Canada, with both requiring airlines to avoid Russian airspace [10]. - The US Department of Transportation has proposed restrictions on Chinese airlines using Russian airspace, which has led to complaints from Chinese carriers [10][11]. - European airlines are also experiencing slow recovery due to similar airspace restrictions, while Chinese airlines have a cost advantage on Europe routes [11]. Market Share Changes - Domestic airlines have a significantly higher recovery rate compared to foreign airlines, with a 3.7% increase in international flights compared to 2019, achieving a recovery rate of 103.7% [12]. - The market share of domestic airlines has increased from 59.1% in 2019 to 69.6%, while foreign airlines' share has decreased by 10.5 percentage points to 30.4% [12].
