Chairman's Statement
2021 witnessed the centennial anniversary of the founding of the
Communist Party of China (CPC). Under the strong leadership of the
CPC Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, China
has built a moderately prosperous society in an all aspects and
embarked on a new journey towards the second centenary goal. Over
the past year, Air China adhered to the guidance of Xi Jinping
Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and
resolutely implemented the decisions and deployments made by the
CPC Central Committee and the State Council. By grounding our
efforts in the new development stage, applying the new development
philosophy, and serving the new pattern of development, Air China
maintained a safe and stable situation. We worked hard to mitigate
the pandemic's impact, accelerated and deepened reforms,
continuously improved our service quality, coordinated the
promotion of strategic priorities, and constantly enhanced our
compliance management level. Moreover, the Party's leadership and
Party building were continuously consolidated in Air China, marking
a new stage of high-quality development.
Insisted on safe development and assumed safety
responsibilities. Air China resolutely implemented the important
instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on civil aviation
safety work, undertook safety responsibilities, systematically
strengthened safety management, reinforced the control over safety
processes, and deepened the formation of work style and discipline.
We flew 572,000 flights in 2021, totaling 1.59 million safe flight
hours. We also completed the important air transportation support
tasks for the centennial anniversary celebrations of the founding
of the Communist Party of China, Tokyo Olympics, the Beijing Winter
Olympics, and other major events, and demonstrated the mission,
responsibility, and good image of Air China as the flag
carrier.
Kept in mind the big picture and shouldered the responsibility
of Covid-19 prevention and control. Air China continued to
strengthen organizational leadership and improved routine control
mechanisms for pandemic control. We made every effort to guard
against inbound cases and domestic resurgences, and treat key
populations and imported cargoes with equivalent pandemic
prevention and control standards. We prevented pandemic risks
brought by international flights and quickly responded to domestic
isolated cases. By following high standards and strict requirements
for the management of international flight crews, 158,000
person-times of Air China aircrews were quarantined for medical
observation. We also strengthened cargo-related pandemic prevention
and control. We assisted China in transporting 641 tonnes of
COVID-19 vaccine to other countries, thereby contributing to the
global fight against the pandemic.
Ensured safe and smooth flights and fulfilled economic
responsibilities. In the whole year of 2021, Air China input 152.44
billion seat kilometres for passenger transportation and 10.76
billion tonne kilometres for cargo transportation, completed a
total transportation turnover of 13.6 billion tonne kilometres, and
carried 69.045 million passengers and 1.187 million tonnes of cargo
and mails. In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Air
China adjusted its flight strategies in a timely manner. Compared
with 2019, the domestic input recovery rate was 87% and the
passenger flow recovery rate was 73%. To ensure the smooth flow of
international "air bridges", we carried out 18,000 international
flights throughout the year, including 2,266 passenger flights that
carried 300,000 passengers and 16,000 preighter flights that
delivered 365,000 tonnes of goods.
Formulated the 14(th) Five-Year Plan and implemented mid and
long-term development responsibilities. Air China completed the
preparation of its 14th Five-Year Planning, clarified the
development ideas of "one goal, four strategic directions, and
enhancing five capabilities" in eight key areas, and established
the 14th Five-Year Plan indicator system. Besides, we also followed
and served major national strategies, including the Coordinated
Development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, the construction
of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the building of
the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, and the revitalization of
the Northeast China by increasing resource investment, building
high-quality express lines, and optimizing our network layout. To
implement the hub network strategy, Air China earnestly advanced
the functional transformation of the Beijing Capital International
Airport as a hub, the construction of Daxing Airport Base and
Tianfu Air China Base, and completed part of domestic flights
transfer to the Beijing Capital International Airport T2, the
transfer to Tianfu International Airport in Chengdu, and Beijing
Airlines transfered to Daxing Airport.
Practiced green and low-carbon strategies and implemented
environmental protection responsibilities. Air China actively
studied and implemented the CPC Central Committee and State
Council's work opinions and action plans on "carbon peaking and
carbon neutrality" to accelerate the green and low-carbon
transformation, considering the unique characteristics and
difficulties of energy conservation and emission reduction in the
aviation industry. We took the initiative to support the national
dual-carbon strategy, strengthened top-level design, and formulated
the 14(th) Five-Year Plan for green development. We promoted
fuel-saving operations and increased operational efficiency deeply
involved in the pollution prevention, continued to protect the blue
sky, resorted to scientific carbon emission management,
accomplished contracts, and participated in the research and
formulation of the mechanism. We actively promoted environmental
protection and fought for pollution prevention and control. In
2021, we initiated the environmental management system
certification project, developed an environmental management
system, passed the certification of ISO 14001, and became the first
airline in the Chinese Mainland to obtain environmental management
system certification.
Fulfilled community, staff, and social responsibilities. To
consolidate and improve the effectiveness of poverty alleviation
assistance, Air China implemented the decisions and deployments of
the CPC Central Committee, carried forward the spirit poverty
forged in the fight against poverty, focused on the new deployments
of the rural revitalization strategy, and focused on the
comprehensive revitalization of rural industries, talents, culture,
ecology, organizations, etc. In the performance evaluation of
targeted poverty alleviation, we have won the highest score for
four consecutive years. In 2021, the Poverty Alleviation Offices of
CNAHC won the title of "National Exemplary Team for Poverty
Alleviation" and " Civil Aviation Exemplary Team for Poverty
Alleviation". We actively carried out community feedback
activities, and addressed the needs of staff for a better quality
of life. We also paid attention to the needs of various staff
groups to ensure the health and stability of the team by offering
mental care for the staff, implementing mutual aid funds and
solving their difficulties.
Looking forward to 2022, we will rally more closely around the
CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, follow
the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics for a New Era, and act on the general principle of
pursuing progress while ensuring stability. Ground our efforts in
the new development stage, completely, accurately, and thoroughly
implementing the new development philosophy, and accelerating the
construction and integration of a new development pattern, Air
China will promote high-quality development and unite and lead the
majority of cadres and staff to overcome difficulties and focus on
work safety, pandemic prevention and control, operational
efficiency, service quality, and risk control. We will fully
complete the three-year reform action and welcome the commencement
of the Party's 20(th) National Congress with remarkable
results!
