Movement Alert|Air China Falls 4.44% in Regular Trading, Summer Peak Season Ticket Prices Plunge Dragging Aviation Sector

Market Focus07-09

On July 9, Air China fell 4.44% in regular trading, trading at HKD 4.1 per share, with turnover of HKD 25.43 million. The aviation sector came under broad selling pressure.

On the news front, ticket prices during the July summer travel peak season saw a rare sharp decline, with fares on some routes dropping to as low as 100 yuan — even below high-speed rail prices — fueling market concerns over airline revenue levels. Across the sector, China Eastern Airlines fell 5.62%, China Southern Airlines fell 3.79%, and Cathay Pacific fell 3.0%.

Additionally, the company recently completed a directed share issuance of approximately 3.04 billion new A shares at RMB 6.57 per share to its parent China National Aviation Holding, raising net proceeds of approximately RMB 19.99 billion. This expanded total share capital by roughly 17.4%, and the resulting dilution effect continues to weigh on market sentiment.
