Total losses at China's "big three" state-owned airlines in 2022 ballooned to nearly 109 billion yuan ($15.8 billion) as COVID-19 restrictions upended travel and sent passenger numbers tumbling, their latest annual reports show.
Net losses at Air China widened 132% from the previous year to 38.6 billion yuan in 2022, according to its earnings report released on Thursday, making the national flag carrier the worst performer of the three.
