BEIJING: China’s aviation regulator said on Friday that air passenger numbers in August rose 98.0% from a year earlier, reaching a historical high.
The monthly passenger transportation volume was 63.96 million, an increase of 4.5% compared with August in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic decimated the travel industry.
However, international passenger transportation has only recovered to 52.0% of the same period in 2019.
