Economic Daily: Targeted measures to regulate the order of the civil aviation passenger market.

Recently, the China Air Transport Association issued the "China Air Transport Association Air Passenger Self-Discipline Convention", proposing regulations for airlines' ticket prices, refund and change rules executed by aviation sales networks and sales agents. The China Air Transport Association aims to strengthen supervision and management, strictly prohibit illegal bundled sales and price markups, and establish an "Aviation Sales Agent Credit Rating Mechanism". This move is aimed at enhancing industry self-discipline, regulating the domestic air passenger market order, and actively responding to the national call for comprehensive rectification of "inward competition". The release of this self-discipline convention undoubtedly addresses the root of the problem. It strengthens supervision over various aspects of aviation sales, strictly prohibits illegal bundled sales and price markups, establishes a credit rating mechanism, and plays a positive role in curbing the chaotic price increases by agents and promoting the normalization of ticketing systems. However, whether the self-discipline convention can truly be implemented, and transform into strong industry governance effectiveness, still faces challenges and requires supporting measures to ensure its success.
