Major Chinese airlines introduce paid in-flight meal options_我的网站

一 |     (ECNS) -- Major Chinese airlines, including Air China, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines and Sichuan Airlines, have introduced paid in-flight meal options on domestic routes, ranging from affordable snacks to premium platters costing several hundred yuan, as carriers seek to diversify their catering services.        Economic analyst Pan Helin said the move is being driven by several factors. Paid meal services are already a well-established business model in other transport sectors, while offering passengers more choices can also help airlines increase brand exposure through social media. In addition, in-flight catering has long faced cost pressures, and paid services could help turn catering from a cost burden into a potential source of revenue.    A survey showed that ticket prices account for 34% of passengers' decision-making when booking flights, while in-flight meals account for just 6%. However, passengers said they were willing to pay an average of $27 more for higher-quality meals, a finding Pan said reflects increasingly diverse passenger preferences.    While budget-conscious travelers may be reluctant to pay extra for meals, others, including business travelers, content creators and social media users, may be willing to spend more for an enhanced dining experience, Pan noted.    The China Air Transport Association has said that free economy-class meals will not be eliminated despite the expansion of paid options. However, Pan said some adjustments to complimentary meal services may be unavoidable from a business perspective.    He suggested four measures to prevent excessive downgrading of free meals: establishing clear basic meal standards, improving cost transparency, introducing third-party catering companies into the supply chain, and clearly distinguishing between basic and premium meal services.    Looking ahead, Pan said the future of paid in-flight meals lies not in luxury, but in offering trendy and visually appealing choices that cater to social media-savvy travelers. Airlines could also provide more diverse options, including vegetarian, low-calorie and liquid meals. He suggested that carriers could source local specialties from stopover airports or collaborate with lifestyle brands and intellectual properties on selected routes.    Ultimately, paid in-flight meals should focus on meeting passengers' changing preferences rather than simply charging higher prices, Pan said.    (By Tang Yuxian)                        。    AI摘要      21日，福建省人工智能创新发展交流活动在福州举办，现场启动“工业领域数据保护与安全测评”重点实验室、福建省智能体创新联合体、人工智能众测行动及“模数未来”生态合作伙伴计划四项产业合作计划，旨在筑牢安全底座、攻关技术难题并构建开放共享的产业生态。         21日，福建省人工智能创新发展交流活动在福州举办，以“模数共振 智启未来”为主题，吸引了政府部门、高校院所、行业机构、数字服务商和重点企业的200多名代表参加。    活动现场，启动四项产业合作计划：“工业领域数据保护与安全测评”工信部重点实验室聚焦工业数据安全与模型安全测评，为产业安全发展筑牢底座；福建省智能体创新联合体采用“技术研发+场景应用+标准机构”三位一体协同模式，聚焦重点产业数字化转型实际需求，协同攻关行业智能体场景适配、算法优化、精准决策、成效量化等共性难题，形成可复用、可验证、可推广的技术成果；福建省人工智能众测行动依托福建省人工智能与软件质量中试服务平台开展，整合“智钺”“智体通鉴”“智规”三大平台体系技术力量，围绕人工智能模型和智能体功能、性能、安全等维度实施测评；“模数未来”人工智能生态合作伙伴计划由省工业信息产业发展研究中心牵头，联合运营商、高校、科研院所、龙头企业等12家单位共同发起，致力于打破产业协作壁垒，构建开放共享、协同创新的福建特色人工智能产业生态。
