According to CoinMeta, data from Flight Butler DAST shows that the average fare for domestic economy class flights from January to October this year was 683 yuan (excluding taxes and surcharges), which is basically the same as last year but represents a 10.3% decrease compared to 2019. Observing the trend over time, ticket prices in 2026 showed a pattern of being higher at the beginning and then declining later on. After the peak during the Spring Festival travel season, there was a continuous drop, and during the summer travel season, there was a clear shift towards "trade-off between price and volume." Ticket prices fell by 8.3% year-on-year from July to August, with peak season fares still under pressure. Business class flights have fully recovered above pre-pandemic levels. In the first ten months of this year, the number of business class flights (between first-tier cities) increased by 35.4% compared to 2019, and the number of passengers increased by 30%; the occupancy rate was 88.2%, up 3.2 percentage points from 2019. Overall, there has been a recovery above pre-pandemic levels, with flight numbers increasing by 5.7%, passenger numbers by 4.8%, and the occupancy rate rising by 2 percentage points compared to 2025. Moreover, the aircraft fleet is entering an iteration cycle. As of October this year, the civil aviation passenger fleet has reached 4,247 aircraft, a year-on-year increase of 2.2%. All of this growth came from narrow-body and regional airliners. Wide-body airliners continued to show a contraction, with a net reduction of 19 aircraft, and the international long-haul market has recovered more slowly, meaning the application market for wide-body airliners remains limited.
