Aviation: Pfizer oral drugs have been approved for import, and overseas countries have gradually lifted entry restrictions. They are optimistic about the reversal of supply and demand in the aviation industry after the epidemic is alleviated, and aviation enterprises have high profit elasticity.
1) Pfizer oral drugs have been approved for import, overseas countries have gradually lifted entry restrictions, and international air travel is expected to gradually recover: on February 12, according to the State Food and drug administration, Pfizer's covid-19 oral drugs were conditionally approved for import registration by the State Food and drug administration. According to previously disclosed data, the drug can reduce the risk of hospitalization or death of non hospitalized high-risk adults with covid-19 by 89%. The UK and Japan relaxed the epidemic prevention and control policies: from February 11, passengers who have been fully vaccinated only need to fill in the passenger positioning form when entering the UK. There is no need to conduct any covid-19 test before and after entering the UK, and there is no need to isolate after entering the UK; On February 12, the Japanese government announced that it plans to gradually lift the entry restrictions during February and formally discuss the lifting of the entry restrictions after March. Overseas countries gradually lift the entry restrictions, and covid-19 oral drugs are approved for import. In the future, China is expected to gradually increase the pilot tests with countries and regions with good epidemic prevention and control, test China's dynamic zero pressure, and gradually resume international flights on the premise of external defense input.
2) the civil aviation administration predicts that the air passenger traffic volume may return to 75% - 85% before the epidemic in 2022, and the operation of the aviation department is expected to usher in an inflection point: on February 8, according to the director of the comprehensive Department of the Civil Aviation Administration, under different circumstances of the overseas epidemic, the passenger traffic volume in 2022 is expected to return to 75% before the epidemic (the situation of epidemic prevention and control in China is steadily improving, and the overseas epidemic continues to spread) 85% (the epidemic situation in China has improved significantly, the overseas epidemic has an inflection point and the overall high level hovers), 100% and higher (the overseas epidemic has dropped sharply after the inflection point, and the epidemic situation in China has basically achieved "social clearance"). On the whole, it is difficult for the epidemic to subside comprehensively. The annual passenger volume may return to 75% - 85% of that before the epidemic. The operation of airlines is expected to usher in a profit and loss inflection point and enter the post epidemic repair period.
3) the data of Spring Festival transportation has improved significantly year-on-year, and there is still a gap compared with that before the epidemic: in the 27 days before the Spring Festival transportation this year (1.17-2.12), the national civil aviation is expected to send 24.81 million passengers, up from - 49.7% in 2019 and + 37.5% in 2021. The year-on-year improvement is significant, and it has recovered to about 50% compared with that before the epidemic. A total of 265607 flights were carried out by civil aviation passenger flights nationwide, up from - 34.2% in 2019 to + 29.4% in 2021, with an average seating rate of 54.3% and + 3.2pts in 2021. The number of flights and seating rate increased significantly year-on-year. Under the one size fits all ban on the local Chinese new year, the air travel of Spring Festival transportation in 2022 has significantly improved year-on-year. However, there is still a large gap compared with that before the epidemic when the epidemic is still spreading all over the country and the international line remains very low. It is expected that the aviation industry will continue to recover with the further control of the epidemic throughout the year.
On the demand side, the worst period of the epidemic is basically over. With the promotion of vaccination and specific drugs, the suppressed travel demand will gradually recover. On the supply side, the introduction of airlines' transport capacity is slow, Boeing and Airbus orders accumulate, and even the 737max go around still does not change the low growth rate of transport capacity. The low growth rate of supply in the medium term has high certainty. In addition, the market-oriented reform of civil aviation ticket prices has opened up the space for price elasticity. The inflection point of supply and demand certainty is superimposed on the upward ticket price, and aviation is expected to usher in a round of growth cycle. Focus on recommending Air China Limited(601111) with high-quality routes (which will significantly benefit from the recovery of official travel); Low cost aviation leader Spring Airlines Co.Ltd(601021) ; China line accounts for a high proportion of China Southern Airlines Company Limited(600029) with high performance flexibility; China Eastern Airlines with obvious location advantages; Focus on Regional Airlines China Express Airlines Co.Ltd(002928) .

The short-term airport aviation business has declined due to the disturbance of the epidemic, and the epidemic in China is generally controllable. With the continuous promotion of vaccination, China's international aviation passenger flow is expected to gradually recover. In the long run, the airport's aviation business is stable, while the tax-free industry has huge space.

Risk tips:
1) the risk of macroeconomic downturn will have a great impact on the overall demand for transportation.
2) the price competition in the express industry exceeds the market expectation. At present, the price war in the express industry is generally controllable, but it does not rule out a large-scale price war, eroding the profits of listed companies.
3) risk of rising oil price and labor cost. Transportation and labor costs, as the main costs of transportation companies, may face the risk of rising oil prices and sharply rising labor costs.
