*Updated with full year 2025 data* China's aviation market is one of the largest and most competitive in the world. With hundreds of millions of passengers travelling domestically each year, Chinese carriers have grown to a scale that rivals the biggest airlines anywhere on the planet. Using OAG's 2025 schedules data, we've ranked the top 10 domestic airlines in China by total seat capacity.
The conversation about AI and data quality is necessary, but quality alone isn't enough.
Season to season, there is very little change in the networks of larger European legacy airlines,as a mix of capacity constraints, commercial requirements, time differences and competitive pressures mean any schedule change is limited to no more than ten minutes here or there.
OAG data shows the average distance of the top 10 longest non-stop flights has grown by 14.5% since 2000, powered by a new generation of twin-engine widebody aircraft.

The innovations we tracked in April were largely invisible to the traveller, but consequential for the industry's operational foundation. May brings a different story.
