Cargo Business Is Thriving

pandemic. Passenger traffic turnover fell by 46.15% YoY. The capacity allocation decreased
by 37.6% YoY. The PLF was 71.46%, down by 11.35 ppts YoY. Passenger transportation
revenue was RMB70,534 million, down by 49.1% YoY.
Benefiting from the strong demand for air cargo for anti-pandemic materials, the Company’s
cargo revenue was RMB16,493 million, up by 71.5% YoY, of which international cargo
revenue rose by 93.6%. Cargo revenue accounted for 19% of transportation revenue, up by
12.5 ppts YoY; while passenger transportation revenue accounted for 81%, down by 12.5
ppts YoY.
In terms of revenue quality, the RPK was RMB0.46, down by 6.1% YoY. Cargo and mail RTK

outstandingly, driving the overall yield to fall only slightly.
