The aircraft manufacturing company bets the single channel model to help the civil aviation industry seek to sink the market breakout

Cover reporter Meng Mei Ouyang Hongyu

With the gradual recovery of the global aviation industry, the development and growth have become the most watched theme in the industry. According to market analysis, domestic and inter-regional routes, which are dominated by single-channel aircraft, will take the lead in restoring and growing. In this market, the market segment of 100-150 small single-channel aircraft market segments has not yet been fully developed. Essence

Recently, the reporter learned from Airbus China that its new generation of narrow body A220 has officially entered the Chinese market.据悉，该机型比A320系列更小，定位于100至150座级的小型单通道飞机，与上一代同级别机型相比可节省高达25%的运营成本，并减少25%的燃油消耗和carbon dioxide emissions.

Travel demand under the epidemic is returning to China, and the demand for air travel in second- and third -tier cities in China has gradually released. At present, the domestic civil aviation industry is deeply dug the potential of the sinking market, but according to statistics, most of the domestic market single -channel aircraft are large single -channel aircraft with close or more than 160 seats. The number of seats required for routes in the second- and third -tier market. Obviously, in terms of comfort, experience, and cost savings, new aircraft of 100 to 150 seats are more competitive.

Aiming at this market, domestic aircraft ARJ21 is one of the most representative branch passenger aircraft models. According to data released by COMAC, as of June 2022, ARJ21 passenger planes have been delivered 66 years in 7 years, and more than one million passengers have been transported. In addition, Boeing's 737MAX7 and Pakistani Industry E195-E2 equivalent aircraft is also the leader of this track.

Even if there are many competitors at the same level, the newcomers are still facing a relatively blank market range. Some people in the industry said that although the domestic civil aviation industry is digging the potential of the second- and third -tier markets, the market has just started. At present, the number of aircraft with 100 to 150 -seater -level aircraft is not high.

However, the aircraft is a systematic engineering that introduces an aircraft, and behind it also includes supporting guarantees to be attracted in it, training a series of subsystems; for airlines, it is also necessary to specifically support new models for new models. This is still a challenge for A22, which has not yet received orders from Chinese airlines.

But in general, under the epidemic, the narrow body of the "betting" reflects the changes in utilization and the amount of flying. Data released by Feiyou Technology recently showed that the average utilization rate of wide -body machines in July this year was 1.16 hours/day, while the average utilization rate of narrowing machines was 5.82 hours/day. In this regard, experts predict that due to the impact of the epidemic, the market for wide -body machines has slowed down, and the airline company has no willingness or motivation to purchase wide -body machines. Therefore, the incremental increase in front is definitely the incremental increase in domestic narrow -body machines.
