Recently, many netizens reported that the price of air tickets on some routes has risen sharply, which has aroused concern and heated discussions. Some netizens even broke the news that,In order to keep the number of flights no more than 4,500 and qualify for the subsidy, airlines will deliberately raise fares and reduce passenger load factors.
June 1,According to reports,In response to the recent increase in air ticket prices, the relevant person in charge of the Civil Aviation Administration responded.
Recently, many netizens reported that the price of some air tickets has risen. In this regard, the person in charge of the relevant departments of the Civil Aviation Administration said that at present, the domestic airline fares are mainly adjusted by the market, and the airlines can independently determine the specific fares according to the market supply and demand conditions.
Before the implementation of the subsidy policy, due to the serious shortage of effective demand in the air transport market, the relationship between supply and demand was seriously distorted.The average fares for domestic routes are far lower than the industry average published fares.
It is reported that on May 26, the Civil Aviation Administration and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued a passenger flight subsidy policy. From May 21 to July 20, subsidy policy support will be given to eligible domestic passenger flights. At present, the policy has been implemented normally for more than 10 days.
Regarding the statement of netizens that “airlines raise ticket prices and reduce passenger load factor to obtain more subsidies”, the Civil Aviation Administration’s public data shows that since this year, the passenger load factor of civil aviation has generally been at a low level, and the average passenger load factor from January to April this year. The passenger load factor in the first week of the implementation of the subsidy policy was 55.5%, which has not yet reached the level of 75%.
There is no basis for the claim of “controlling the occupancy factor below 75% to obtain subsidies”.
In addition, the person in charge of the relevant department of the Civil Aviation Administration said that according to the policy, the subsidy is the part of the actual income from the supplementary flight that is not enough to cover the variable costs such as aviation fuel, aviation material consumption, and pilot hourly fees. Higher fares will increase revenue, reduce losses, and reduce the amount of subsidies received.
Therefore, from the subsidy principle, there is no possibility that airlines will get more subsidies by raising fares.
In addition, there are rumors on the Internet that the subsidy policy will be suspended in the third week (June 4-June 10).
In this regard, the person in charge of the relevant department of the Civil Aviation Administration said that according to the current subsidy policy, whether the company can enjoy the subsidy depends on how many flights the whole industry flies in a week. safe operation of the minimum number of flights to be flown).
According to the current subsidy conditions, airlines cannot enjoy the subsidy policy.It is not that the subsidy policy has been suspended, and it is not that the subsidy policy has disappeared. This is a “bottom guarantee” policy that is dynamically adjusted.
