Key Takeaways
Air China is transforming its network with a focus on expanding international capacity, aiming to restore its pre-pandemic network. In 2024, capacity to Japanincreased by 171% year-on-year and capacity to Germany nearly doubled as the airline built on its Star Alliance partners’ operations in Frankfurt and Munich.
Outside of Germany capacity growth in Europe was more cautious, compared to their two local competitors, at just a 14% increase (compared to 2019 levels) as the airline continued to prefer working within Star Alliance rather than launch new routes to smaller European markets.
Average economy class airfares for Air China increased by approximately US$14, with domestic fare increasing by 47% year-on-year, while international fares decreased by 4%.
