While many Asia-Pacific international long-haul markets are gaining recovery momentum, airlines are boosting transpacific services to Australia and New Zealand.
While Hawaiian Airlines reports strong demand on most of its international and domestic routes, recovery remains sluggish in the key Japanese tourist market.
All Nippon Airways is planning to boost its China routes significantly during the summer, in another sign of the increasing demand in the Chinese market.
