In the event that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic extends into the next reporting

brought under control and the coverage of vaccination continuing to expand, the

demand for civil aviation transportation will gradually recover. The Group will capitalize on

the opportunity of market recovery by optimizing transport capacity investment in a timely

manner, and take various initiatives, all with an active effort to achieve better performances.
