Simple Flying - Joanna Bailey

The latest data indicates that normal life is making a slow but sure return to China. Airline capacity is increasing week on week and most of the airports, including in hard-hit Hubei province, are reopening for business.

According to OAG, airline capacity around the world is, overall, down by more than a quarter. 

However, the trend in China is moving steadily upwards for the fourth week in a row. The lowest ebb was in the week of the 17th February, when capacity was down 70.8%. Since then it has begun to increase, coming in at just over 40% down for the first two weeks of March and even less for the latest two weeks.
