It is reported that as of 24 o'clock on December 16, Ningbo Airport has taken off and landed 95,500 flights this year, and the passenger throughput has reached 12,426,700, a record high. In this year's national airport flight volume and passenger throughput rankings, Ningbo Airport's recovery indicators are in the forefront of "tens of millions of airports".

Traffic and travel data is a "barometer" of social and economic development. Since the beginning of this year, passenger travel demand has continued to release, and the demand for business, business and tourism has picked up rapidly. The two terminals have been put into use, international routes have continued to recover, and air cargo has recovered rapidly...... Ningbo Airport actively seizes the opportunity of market recovery, continuously explores the domestic route market, focuses on key words such as route expansion, safety services, and smart low-carbon, and promotes the continuous improvement of the hub energy level.

According to estimates, by the end of this year, the annual passenger throughput of Ningbo Airport is expected to reach 12.8 million passengers, 99,000 flight takeoffs and landings, and 138,000 tons of cargo and mail throughput, all of which will hit a record high.

The route network is getting denser and denser. In this year's winter season, Ningbo Airport opened domestic routes such as Xiangxi, Wushan, Fairy Mountain and Yingkou for the first time, with 88 navigation points. According to statistics, the recovery rate of summer flights at Ningbo Airport ranks first among the "tens of millions of airports" in the country.

The operation of the two floors opens a new situation with the expansion of the hub. This year, Ningbo Airport Terminal 1 was reopened, ushering in the era of "dual terminals", with a 18% upgrade in design capacity, more check-in and security counters, and a higher flight docking rate, which improved the travel experience of passengers.

In addition to the "blowout" of passenger traffic, air cargo has also recovered rapidly. This year, Ningbo integrated and amplified the functional advantages of "airport + cross-border + port", issued the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Ningbo International Air Cargo", actively used the fifth air right to open up route destinations, and operated a total of 14 all-cargo aircraft routes, with a maximum of 50 flights per week, and initially built an international cargo route network across the three major economic zones of Europe, America and Asia.

Behind the "boom in passengers and cargo", Ningbo's economic development has stabilized and rebounded, and the business travel consumption market has rebounded rapidly, which has added confidence to the airline's high-density layout of Ningbo flights.

The relevant person in charge of Ningbo Airport said that Ningbo Airport will continue to improve the layout of the domestic route network, continue to expand international routes, and constantly create a new situation in the construction of a modern coastal metropolis gateway, injecting surging momentum into Ningbo's "building a first-class city and ranking among the first phalanx".
