Foreign governments may be placing restrictions on visitors from China, but that’s just the half of it. With demand for air travel to China sinking lower and lower, so many airlines are axing their services. Air China, on the other hand, is sinking deep into its coffers to keep flying the flag.
外国政府可能会对来自中国的游客施加限制，但这只是其中的一半。 随着飞往中国的航空旅行需求日益下降，许多航空公司正在取消他们的服务。 另一方面，中国国航正在深入其国库，继续挥舞旗帜。
It costs in the region of US$25,000 per hour to operate a 747 Jumbo Jet. That’s a huge amount of money to be plying into half-empty, daily flights across the Pacific. While some run in fear of the coronavirus, for pragmatic others it is a simple matter of supply and demand.
运营一架747巨型喷气式飞机每小时花费约25,000美元。 每天半空的穿越太平洋航班需要花一大笔钱。 虽然有些人害怕新冠病毒，但对其他人来说，这是一个简单的供求问题。
With no Demand, Why Keep up the Supply?
没有需求，为什么要保持供应？
Last week, over 25,000 flights to, from or within China, were cancelled, OAG Aviation has revealed. On just 1 day, last Tuesday, two thirds of 16,623 Chinese airlines’ flights never made it to the sky.
OAG航空透露，上周，超过25,000个往返中国或中国境内的航班被取消。 仅仅1天，上周二，16,623个中国航空公司的航班中有三分之二从未飞过天空。
It all means the coming of the Year of the Rat has not been the travel bonanza of usual. The London Free Press has reported that China Ministry of Transportation data shows trips over Chinese New Year fell 30 percent, to 1.3 billion, compared to last year.
这一切都意味着鼠年的到来不是往常的旅行财富。 据《伦敦自由报》报道，中国交通部的数据显示，与去年相比，春节的旅行减少了30%，达到13亿。

Air China hopes to buck the trend. According to One Mile at a Time, “The airline has filed with the US Department of Transportation to request the right to operate a total of just seven weekly frequencies to the US, but those would include four US cities. Air China wants to fly the following for a period of 180 days, using Boeing 777-300ERs: 4x weekly from Beijing to Los Angeles to San Francisco [and] 3x weekly from Beijing to New York JFK to Washington.
中国航空公司希望逆势而上。 据《One Mile at a Time》报道，“该航空公司已向美国交通部申请了每周仅运营七个每周班次的航班的权利，但这些航班将包括四个美国城市。 中国国航希望使用波音777-300ER飞行180天：每周4次从北京到洛杉矶到旧金山[和]每周3次从北京到纽约肯尼迪到华盛顿。
“As the airline describes it, this is intended to maintain essential air connectivity between the US and China in the most economical way.”
“正如航空公司所描述的那样，这旨在以最经济的方式保持美国和中国之间必不可少的航空连接。”
Nevertheless, Air China is cancelling a slew of its other international flights, including Beijing-Manila, Beijing-Singapore, Beijing-Rome, Beijing-Milan, Shanghai-Milan, Hangzhou-Rome, Beijing-Ulaanbaatar and Hohhot-Ulaanbaatar.
尽管如此，中国国际航空公司正在取消一系列其他国际航班，包括北京-马尼拉、北京-新加坡、北京-罗马、北京-米兰、上海-米兰、杭州-罗马、北京-乌兰巴达和呼和浩特-乌兰巴达。
