Repeated outbreaks did not hinder the hub status, and patiently waited for the inflection point of passenger flow

Recently, affected by the continuous impact of the epidemic plus industrial safety accidents and other factors, China’s aviation travel demand has been restrained, the industry boom is low, and the company still faces great operating pressure in the medium and short term. However, as one of China’s three gateway complex hub airports, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Company Limited(600004) natural monopoly status has not changed, and its essence as a high-end traffic platform has not changed. Before the epidemic, tax exemption helped the company greatly improve the flow realization efficiency.

It is expected to promote the airport passenger flow realization efficiency again in the future. With the official announcement of the diagnosis and treatment plan for novel coronavirus (trial version 9), China’s anti epidemic has entered the second half of the year. On the opening day of the country, when the value returns, the company continues to be optimistic about the long-term investment value of the company.
