In the decade before the COVID-19 pandemic, the operating expenses of the Air China Group have increased almost continuously, peaking at 126.5 billion yuan in 2018. In 2022, the operating expenses of the Chinese flag carrier were around 92 billion yuan, representing a drop of almost 27 percent compared to 2019. Passenger growth The pre-pandemic upward trend in Air China’s revenue could be reflected by the growth in the number of air passengers.
