Market prospect of regional aviation
Regional aviation only began to rise in the 1960s, but it developed rapidly, especially after the United States adopted the "deregulation" policy on civil aviation transportation in 1978. From the cost point of view, the flight operation cost of 1 small passenger plane is only 1/3 of that of large passenger plane. Due to the small carrying capacity and low cost, more and more airlines choose to put small passenger planes on regional flights, and some companies even take the initiative to transform the original large passenger planes into small passenger planes to fly regional flights. Judging from the national conditions, it is inevitable for small and medium-sized cities in China to develop regional aircraft with low requirements for airports and economy because of inconvenient transportation, difficulty in building large runways at airports and small number of passengers. At present, many routes in China civil aviation market need regional jets. Because there are not many tourists on some routes, it is often difficult for large planes to be fully loaded, and airlines will naturally try to shrink when arranging the number of flights. With the use of regional aircraft, airlines can arrange more flights, because each flight carries fewer passengers, which will give passengers more travel options and expand their market share.
