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 14th 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 14th 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 20th National Congress with remarkable results!
