In 2025, the company's operating costs amounted to 132.655 billion yuan, up 4.87% from the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher transportation output, which led to a corresponding rise in operating expenses. Aircraft fuel costs for the year totaled 43.69 billion yuan, a decrease of 3.98% year-on-year. This reduction was mainly attributed to an increase in flight volume and hours flown, which resulted in a 4.60% growth in fuel consumption and an associated increase in fuel costs of 2.094 billion yuan. However, a decline in crude oil prices led to an 8.20% drop in the average aviation fuel price, reducing fuel costs by 3.903 billion yuan.
