HSBC Research reports that while travel demand in Mainland China remains strong during the May Day holiday, airfares have increased by 9.7% YoY due to high fuel surcharges. Average daily air passenger traffic fell by 5.7% YoY, while rail traffic rose by 4.6% YoY. The broker predicts the three major domestic airlines will incur losses in 2Q26, with potential losses widening by 38% for every 10% rise in fuel prices. Trip.com Group and TONGCHENGTRAVEL received Buy ratings, while AIR CHINA, CHINA EAST AIR, and CHINA SOUTH AIR were rated Reduce due to structural challenges.

DBS Keeps Their Sell Rating on China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited Class H (0670)

China's top three state-owned airlines reported profits in Q1 2026, driven by strong demand during the Lunar New Year and recovering global travel. China Southern Airlines posted a net profit of 1.48 billion yuan, Air China 1.71 billion yuan, and China Eastern Airlines 1.63 billion yuan. However, rising fuel costs due to the Iran war cloud the outlook, with jet fuel prices nearly doubling. The airlines are expanding fleets and focusing on international markets, but face challenges in passing on costs to price-sensitive customers.

Chinese airlines are increasing flights to Europe by 24% this summer due to cost advantages amid rising oil prices from the Middle East conflict. China Eastern Airlines will peak at 410 weekly flights, while China Southern Airlines and Air China are launching new routes. Conversely, they are cutting flights to Southeast Asia and Oceania to manage costs, with Cathay Pacific canceling 2% of its flights. Executives warn that rising fuel prices could lead to losses, especially if the Middle East conflict continues, potentially causing fuel shortages in Europe.
