Shenwan Hongyuan Group pointed out that in June, with the weakening of the holiday effect, the aviation market continued to recover, with capacity and traffic steadily increasing, and regional structural differentiation gradually becoming apparent. The summer travel season has begun, with demand expected to accelerate, coupled with seasonal ticket price increases, airline performance elasticity is expected to be released. Guotai Haitong also stated that in the short term, anti-price undercutting will be reduced; in the medium term, it is expected to help improve airline revenue management; and in the long term, it will ensure that fleet planning continues to grow slowly. Short-term demand fluctuations do not change the long-term logic of aviation, the release of risks in the peak season, and the crackdown on anti-price undercutting are worth looking forward to.
