According to data from the UK-based aviation data analytics company, Resair, global air capacity is expected to decline by 3% in May, and at least 19 of the worlds 20 largest airlines have reduced flights in May. Data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) shows that aviation fuel prices constitute the largest portion of airline costs, accounting for approximately 30% of their total costs.

They have jointly formulated a special plan to ensure train punctuality, helping the West Kowloon Station of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong High-Speed Rail maintain a consistently high on-time rate of over 99.8%, ranking among the top in the country. Since the beginning of this year, coupled with the continuous optimization of the "co-location arrangement" clearance model and the full release of policy benefits such as "multiple-entry visas," passenger flow at the port has shown a strong trend of "strong off-season and even stronger peak season." Furthermore, stimulated by the visa-free policy for foreigners visiting China and the 240-hour visa-free transit policy, the number of visa-free arrivals at the port exceeded the number of visa-holding arrivals for the first time.On Monday, April 20, the Hang Seng Index opened 44.28 points higher, or 0.17%, at 26,204.61; the Hang Seng Tech Index opened 16.9 points higher, or 0.34%, at 5,059.58; the H-share Index opened 11.23 points higher, or 0.13%, at 8,856.25; and the Red Chip Index opened 8.71 points higher, or 0.2%, at 4,334.43.
