The Civil Aviation Administration of China announced that the country’s civil aviation sector demonstrated some signs of recovery in May, with the decline in key indicators significantly narrowing from a month ago.

China’s airlines flew a total of 25.83 million passengers last month, down 52.6 percent year on year. The decline narrowed 15.9 percentage points from April, Xiong Jie, spokesperson for China’s civil aviation authority, told a press briefing.

Air cargo volume fell 12 percent year on year to 549,000 tonnes, compared with a 19.5-percent decrease registered in April.

The punctuality rate of Chinese airlines reached 94.8 percent in May, Xiong added.
