This year's Spring Festival travel rush saw continued growth in passenger traffic at Shanghai airports, driven by the expansion of my country's visa-free travel network to include Canada and the UK, as well as the continued popularity of inbound and outbound tourism, winter tourism in northern China, and winter getaways to southern China. According to preliminary data, from the start of the Spring Festival travel rush on February 2nd to yesterday (February 20th), Shanghai airports handled over 46,000 flights, including 31,000 at Pudong Airport and 15,000 at Hongqiao Airport, representing a 2.7% increase compared to the same period last year.
