春节假期全国民航旅客运输量创历史新高

中国民航局披露的最新数据显示，今年春节8天，全国民航累计运输旅客1799.2万人次，日均运输旅客224.9万人次，创历史新高。

The eight-day Spring Festival holiday that lasted from Feb 10 to Saturday, coupled with relaxed visa polices of several countries, has significantly boosted travel demand and fueled further growth of the air travel market.

长达8天的春节假期（2月10日-2月17日）恰逢我国对多个国家签证政策放松，不仅引爆了出行需求，也推动航空旅行市场规模进一步增长。

During the holiday period, the total number of air passengers handled in China, including via domestic and international flights, reached 17.99 million. The daily average number of passenger trips handled hit 2.25 million, setting a new high, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

With more flights connecting China and Southeast Asia becoming available, an increasing number of passengers from Southeast Asian countries traveled to or transferred through China during the festival period.

由于中国与东南亚之间的航线增加，春节假期从东南亚国家前往或过境中国的旅客数量也增多了。
