Air China said it expects to post a net loss of between 1.7 billion and 2.2 billion yuan for the first half of 2025, narrowing from a 2.78 billion yuan loss a year earlier.
In a stock exchange filing on Monday, the flag carrier cited a stable domestic economy and a steadily improving aviation market as drivers of the reduced losses. It noted a year-on-year improvement in operating performance.
However, the airline remains in the red due to persistent challenges, including imbalanced market supply, a shift in passenger demographics toward lower-tier markets, growing competition from China's expanding high-speed rail network, and increasing global uncertainty affecting supply chains.
