The number of takeoffs and landings at feeder airports in Hunan Province increased by 6.8%, and that of passenger throughput grew 32.6%.

The Hunan Airport Group said that in general, although the number of passenger trips during the Spring Festival holiday this year has not recovered to the level before the epidemic, it has increased significantly compared with 2021, and maintained median growth.

In view of the following characteristics: relatively large passenger flow before the holiday, no centralized return trips after the holiday, and obvious regional passenger flow, the Hunan Airport Group actively coordinated airlines to maintain the number of flights to key cities. The major destinations for the passengers in Changsha Airport were Chongqing, Chengdu, Haikou, Sanya, Kunming and other first-tier provincial capital cities and popular tourist cities. Flights of other feeder airports to Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities have increased.
