China's airlines continue to witness a strong uptick in local demand after domestic traffic rose to 47.75 million in September, representing 98 percent of passenger volume compared with the same month a year earlier, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said in a press briefing on Thursday. That translates to a total of 371,000 domestic passenger flights last month, up 3.5 percent from the same period in 2019.
