I want to know what happened to seats dumping by China. There were so many planes from China pre COVID, but still a fraction of them back flying to international destinations. Are their planes are still parked in Chinese deserts, are they flying domestic instead, or?

I don't know if you are talking about premium fares or fares in general, but fares in general, for example, between North America and Europe had come down already for a year or 2.

I attributed this to the decrease in business travel (companies paying $4k+ J) and the increase in leisure travel, who are willing to pay a premium for a better experience.
Its almost as if the TATL & TPAC routes have “balanced out’ in terms of business to leisure ratio.
With the US hitting a record number of passengers screened in one day last week, a slowdown in deliveries of metal, current fuel prices and new labour contracts kicking in, everything I learned in my degree in economics would indicate fewer deals across the board.
Then again, with said economics degree and $2, I can get a cup of coffee to go and I don’t work for revenue management so what do I know…right?
