Straight Talk Regarding CONVID-19
For ongoing data and information on CONVID-19 developments that affect aviation in China as well as the rest of the globe, we’re routinely updating the Insights page at www.BoydGroupChina.com. It is the new source of hard information on China’s air transportation system.
Historical Data. We have monthly national statistics regarding traffic by sector and region. In the future, we will be generating additional airport-specific information.
Forecast Accuracy. We’re proud to note that our Airports:China™ forecast for 2019 airport traffic was within less than half a percentage point of the number just reported by CAAC.
Independent Perspectives That Challenge “Official” Information. In the Insights section, however, we do not get anywhere near that close to political correctness.
Using a range of sources and information – not just “official” statements – some of the troubling factors in this CONVID-19 situation are covered.
What Happens In China Affects Air Transportation. Just about any major event in China will drive changes in air travel patterns and demand.
So, BoydGroupChina is not reticent to address and analyze these issue.
These include reviews of the initial government reticence to be up front about the virus, the threats to medical professionals to not “spread rumors” by talking about the virus, incarcerating people covering the event on social media, and embarrassing missives from the government, such as claiming that air travel is completely safe… as long as you don’t sit near an infected person. (Cannot make this up.)
We also discuss the possible lack of candor and reliability of information coming from the Chinese government regarding the actual spread of the virus. There is evidence that it is possibly still out of control, and the numbers are “managed.” Indeed, much of China is economically still shut down.
We relate these major events to shift in air capacity and service levels across the nation. The result in an insight source not found anywhere else.
Log On – We are developing this site to be the first independent source of data and information on aviation in China, and how it affects the U.S. and the rest of the globe.
