BRIEF EXPLANATION ON OPERATING DATA
|
In January
2017, the Company seized the market opportunities during the Chinese New Year (CNY) travel period, optimized its capacity allocation
and strengthened its marketing and sales strategies. Market demand grew more rapidly over the same period last year, which was
because of the fact that CNY came in earlier in 2017, and in turn the peak travel period came in earlier year-on-year. Passenger
capacity of the Company increased by 12.5% year-on-year and passenger load factor of the Company increased by 2.89 percentage points
to 81.75% year-on-year. Due to the increase in the overall bellyhold cargo capacity, the freight transportation capacity of the
Company increased by 4.9% year-on-year. Freight traffic volume decreased by 2.3% year-on-year, while freight load factor was 47.59%.
As at 8 February
2017, the Company had completed the transfer of 100% equity interest in Eastern Air Logistics Co., Ltd. to Eastern Airlines Industry
Investment Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Eastern Air Holding Company, the controlling shareholder of the
Company. From February 2017 onwards, the monthly operating data of the Company will no longer include the data on the all-cargo
flight business.
The board
of directors of the Company hereby reminds investors that the operating data set forth above was compiled in accordance with the
Company’s internal information which has not been audited and may be subject to adjustment. The operating data set forth
