Notes:

  1. GENERAL INFORMATION
    The Company was established as a joint stock company with limited liability in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") on 28 December 2000. The registered address and headquarters of the Company is at Haikou City, Hainan Province, the PRC. The Company's shares were listed on the main board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 18 November 2002. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Group") are mainly engaged in the operation of the Meilan Airport and certain ancillary commercial businesses at Haikou City, Hainan Province, the PRC ("Meilan Airport"). The parent company of the Company is Haikou Meilan International Airport Co., Ltd. ("Haikou Meilan"), an enterprise established in the PRC with limited liability. These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board on 21 August 2020.
  2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
    The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises
    - Basic Standard, and the specific accounting standards and other relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC on 15 February 2006 and in subsequent periods (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises" or "CAS"). The financial statements are prepared and disclosed in accordance with CAS 32 "Interim Financial Reporting", which shall be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019. The new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance was effective on 3 March 2014. Certain notes to these financial statements have been supplemented in accordance with the requirements of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

As at 30 June 2020, the Group recorded net current liabilities of RMB5.33 billion (31 December 2019: net current liabilities of RMB3.11 billion), including short-term borrowings of RMB0.91 billion, amounts due to related parties of RMB0.87 billion, and other non-current liabilities due within one year of RMB2.04 billion.

The Company and Haikou Meilan are jointly constructing Meilan Airport Phase II Expansion Project ("Phase

  1. Expansion Project"). Haikou Meilan (as the borrower) and the Company (as the co-borrower) have obtained a syndicated loan (the "Syndicated Loan") specific for the construction of the Phase II Expansion Project with total facility of RMB7.8 billion and maturity of 20 years. Pursuant to the Syndicated Loan Agreement, the Company and Haikou Meilan are jointly liable for repayment of the Syndicated Loan. During the year ended 31 December 2019, the overdue of debts of Haikou Meilan has constituted a default event as defined in the Syndicated Loan Agreement, resulting in the loan syndicate has the right to suspend loan offering to the Company and request the Company to early repay the Syndicated Loan drawn down by the Company amounting to RMB1.95 billion as at 30 June 2020 and the Syndicated Loan drawn down by Haikou Meilan amounting to RMB3.23 billion as at 30 June 2020, which the Company is jointly liable for repayment as the co-borrower. Up to the date of this announcement, the Company and Haikou Meilan have not obtained the written waiver from the loan syndicate, nor have they received any notice from the loan syndicate to take any measures mentioned above.

- 6 -

The capital expenditure of the Phase II Expansion Project which the Company being responsible for is estimated to be approximately RMB7.65 billion. As at 30 June 2020, the construction fee payable of the Company relating to the Phase II Expansion Project amounted to approximately RMB0.94 billion which is to be paid within 12 months, the Company's unrecognised capital commitment relating to the Phase II Expansion Project amounted to approximately RMB1.47 billion, of which approximately RMB0.8 billion is expected to be paid within 12 months according to the construction plan of the project.

Following the outbreak of pneumonia epidemic (the "Epidemic") caused by the novel coronavirus in January 2020, a series of strict control measures including alert of emergency public health event and travel restrictions have been implemented by China and other countries in the world in response to the spread of the virus, which would be of an adverse impact to Group's revenue and operating cash inflow for 2020.

The above events or circumstances indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Board has cautiously taken into account the Group's future working capital, operation results and available sources of financing to assess whether the Group has sufficient working capital and financing sources to repay matured debts and continue as a going concern within the 12 months after 30 June 2020. The Group and Haikou Meilan is trying to take certain measures to improve its working capital position, including but not limited to:

  1. Haikou Meilan and the Company are coordinating with the syndicated lender, with the attempt to obtain a written commitment from the loan syndicate, under which, for the default mentioned above, the loan syndicate will not exercise the right to request Haikou Meilan or the Company to repay the principal and interest of the loans issued within a time limit or request the Company as the co-borrower to bear the joint repayment liability;
  2. Haikou Meilan and the Company are constantly deliberating with the government of Hainan Province, Haikou Meilan's shareholders and the loan syndicate to seek continuance funding of the Phase II Expansion Project, including but not limited to issuance of local government bonds. The Company has drawn down the Syndicated Loan of RMB1.944 billion in December 2019, and is seeking loan syndicate's agreement to release the facilities according to the Syndicated Loan Agreement;
  3. The Company is applying for the Subscription by Haikou Meilan and New H Shares Issue, so that the Company could obtain a financing of no less than RMB1.674 billion. At present, the Subscription by Haikou Meilan and New H Shares Issue are pending for the approval of the shareholders' meeting as well as the related authorities and/or regulators, which is expected to be completed within 2021;
  4. In respect of the loans other than the Syndicated Loan, the Company will negotiate with relevant banks or lenders to renew or extend loan contracts before the maturity, in addition, continue to seek other external funding such as bond issuance and constantly seek new financing resources; and

- 7 -

  1. The Group has timely taken a number of measures to mitigate the adverse impact of the Epidemic, including but not limited to a) implement staff rotation and working schedule adjustments to reduce the utilities expenses and labor costs; b) with the accelerated construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and the further implementation of off-shoreduty-free policy, as well as the effective control over the epidemic around China, the resumption of work and production is progressing in an orderly manner. In July 2020, the Group recorded a recovery of passenger throughput by 85% and a recovery of aircraft taking-off and landing by 80% comparing with the same period in last year, as well as a rapid growth in income from non-aeronauticalduty-free royalties.

The Board has reviewed the Group's cash flow forecast for no less than 12 months from the issue date of these financial statements which prepared by the management of the Company. According to the Board, taking into account the available internal resources (including internally generated funds, available bank and other financing resources), and taking into account the above important assumptions, without the unforeseeable circumstances, the Group will have sufficient working capital to meet its current needs for at least 12 months from the issue date of these financial statements.

Notwithstanding, significant uncertainty exists as to whether the Group is able to achieve its plans and measures as described above. Whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern would depend upon the following:

  1. Haikou Meilan and the Company can obtain a written commitment from the syndicated lender, under which, for the default mentioned above, the loan syndicate will not exercise the right to request Haikou Meilan or the Company to repay the principal and interest of the loans issued within a time limit or request the Company as the co-borrower to bear the joint repayment liability;
  2. The remaining capital injections of the Phase II Expansion Project would be timely received, the loan syndicate would continue to release the unutilized facilities in accordance with the Syndicated Loan Agreement;
  3. Approval of the Subscription by Haikou Meilan and New H Shares Issue would be granted and completed in time; and
  4. The Group would be able to renew or extend the loans on or before they are matured, obtain new bank borrowings and other facility lines to repay matured debts and support its future operations when necessary.

The Group will not have sufficient working capital for its present requirements that is for at least 12 months from the issue date of these financial statements, when the above-mentioned conditions could not be satisfied and the Group fails to take other measures to defer the repayment of bank borrowings and construction costs payable due within the next 12 months.

3. REVENUES AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

The chief operating decision-maker of the Group has been identified as the executive Directors, and senior management led by the president of the Company. The management reviews the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The management has determined the operating segments based on these reports. The management considers the Group conducts business within one business segment operations of the Meilan Airport and provision of services in connection with the airport operations and the Group also operates within one geographical segment because its revenues are primarily generated from and its assets are located in the PRC.

Operating Environment

Civil Aviation Industry of China

The sudden outbreak of pneumonia epidemic (the "Epidemic") caused by COVID-19 at the beginning of 2020 has a huge impact on the global aviation industry, and the aviation industry of China is also facing an unprecedented serious situation. The civil aviation of China has always maintained high consistence with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core in thought and action, resolutely implemented the Party Central Committee's requirements on epidemic prevention and control work with a high degree of executive force, and provided strong support and guarantee for the strategic deployment and tactical actions for the country's overall epidemic prevention and control.

Since 20 January 2020, the civil aviation of China has provided support for about 76,000 flights involved in epidemic prevention and control, and has transported more than 73,000 medical personnel and nearly 300,000 tons of epidemic prevention and control materials; it retrieved 19,787 Chinese citizens from the countries severely affected by the Epidemic, and completed the transportation of 698 tons of materials consisting of 895,000 "health packs" for overseas students; the peak of international cargo flights reached 5,399 per week, 4.1 times the average level last year. To support the development of airlines and ease their operational pressure, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (the "CAAC") has issued a package of "16+8" policies to reduce airlines' annual burden by approximately RMB10 billion.

In the first half of 2020, the civil aviation of China continued to maintain its safe flight record, and the entire industry achieved 84.16 million hours of continuous safe flight in 118 months, and recorded a total traffic volume of 31.91 billion ton kilometers, representing 50.8% of that for the corresponding period of last year; passenger traffic volume of 150 million passengers, representing 45.8% of that for the corresponding period of last year; cargo and mail traffic volume of 2.997 million, representing 85.2% of that for the corresponding period of last year; and flight punctuality rate of 91.57%, representing an increase of 11.22 percentage points year-on-year.

In terms of service quality, the CAAC continued to promote the construction of smart civil aviation. In particular, the construction of a full-process baggage tracking system is an important task to promote the development quality of civil aviation and is listed as a major landmark project for the practice of "genuine services". As of now, no country in the world has been able to realize the full-process baggage tracking for the entire civil aviation industry. In January 2020, the CAAC convened the "Kick-off Meeting for Pilot Implementation of the Full-process Baggage Tracking System for the Civil Aviation" in Shanghai, at which the project implementation idea and scheme of "connecting points into lines, connecting lines into networks, and gradual realisation" was clarified. According to the "three-step" strategy, the CAAC will strive to take the initiative to achieve full-process baggage tracking for domestic routes between airports with an annual passenger traffic volume of more than 10 million passengers across the country by the end of 2021, achieve full coverage of domestic routes by the end of 2025, and make breakthroughs in respect of international routes.

Since 1 May 2020, the CAAC has carried out an eight-month "Civil Aviation Service Quality Brand Building" special campaign, and launched a series of new initiatives for enhancing passenger experience that focus on serving "large processes" and "small details" to further improve the civil aviation service quality management system centering on genuine services and build civil aviation service brands. The special campaign mainly focuses on three aspects, i.e. enhancement of normal management of flights, consolidation of the effectiveness of previous service measures, and launch of new initiatives to improve passenger experience, striving to achieve three goals: first, to consolidate and improve the punctuality rate of flights, stabilize the punctuality rate of domestic passenger airlines at above 80% throughout the year, and achieve the average punctuality rate of flight release and punctuality rate of originating flights of the airports with an annual passenger traffic volume of more than 10 million passengers across the country of 85%; second, to further regulate passenger service management, and implement and promote key service measures such as facilitation of passenger transfer, full-process baggage tracking, and comprehensive transportation transfer; third, to cultivate a group of civil aviation service brands recognized by the society and industry, to further improve aviation travel experience of passengers.

The Group will strictly follow the unified deployment of national epidemic prevention and control. Under the new situation of normalizing epidemic prevention and control, the Group will adhere to the general principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability, and further consolidate the foundation of "stability" and improve the quality of "progress" in the process of promoting epidemic prevention and control and its own development; and will further improve the service quality of Meilan Airport, and implement multiple measures to improve quality and efficiency and fully promote the restoration of routes while ensuring safe operations.

Tourism in Hainan Province

In the first half of 2020, due to the Epidemic, the tourism in Hainan Province was severely impacted. For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the number of domestic and foreign tourists received in Hainan Province amounted to 19.6643 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 49.0%. The total revenue from tourism was approximately RMB22.768 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 53.6%.

In order to fully promote the comprehensive recovery and high-quality development of the tourist economy and accelerate the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and the international tourism consumption center in Hainan, the People's Government of Hainan Province issued

the Plan on Rejuvenation of Tourism Industry in Hainan Province after the Epidemic - Thirty Action Measures to Rejuvenate the Tourism Industry (2020-2021) (《海南省旅遊業疫後重振 計劃-振興旅遊業三十條行動措施(2020-2021)) on 20 March 2020, which indicates the ways

to rejuvenate the tourism industry in Hainan after the Epidemic in terms of improving the top- level design, stabilizing enterprises and reducing their pressure and burden, enriching tourism products, stimulating tourist consumption, and activating market vitality.

On 1 June 2020, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council

formally announced the Overall Plan on the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port (《海南自 由貿易港建設總體方案》) (the "Plan"), marking that the major strategy for building Hainan

Free Trade Port has entered the all-sided implementation stage. The release of the Plan provided a "booster" for the development of tourism, culture, and sports industries of Hainan. At the same time, many industry leaders and leading enterprises in the industries including tourism, culture, and sports have stepped up their deployment in the Hainan market, and the tourism, culture, and sports industries of Hainan will release huge development potential.

As the largest special economic zone in China, Hainan has the unique advantage to become a pilot field for reform and opening-up of the country. The overall advancement of the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port is a major initiative that demonstrates China's determination to expand its opening-up and actively promote economic globalization, and brings new and major historical opportunities for the development of Hainan and the whole country. In 2020, Hainan Province will thoroughly learn and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and always adhere to and strengthen the Party's leadership. It will highlight system integration and innovation, continue to improve risk prevention and control systems and mechanisms, and solidly and steadily propel the implementation of the Plan, to accomplish the goals and tasks in a high-quality and high- standard way and ensure early achievements in the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port.

Key Tourism Projects in Hainan

In the first half of 2020, the Epidemic caused slow progress in the construction of key projects in Hainan Province. After the resumption of work and production, the governments at all levels in Hainan Province made every effort to promote the construction of key tourism projects.

In order to accommodate the continuous optimization of Hainan's off-shoreduty-free shopping policy and boost the new trend of tourist consumption upgrading, the construction of Haikou International Duty-free City project with a total investment of approximately RMB12.86 billion has been fully commenced. The project is located on the east side of the new seaport on the west coast of Haikou City with a total site area of approximately 675 Mu and a gross floor area of approximately 926,000 square meters, and is a provincial key project of Hainan Province. The project is a compound tourism retail complex with duty-free as its core, covering multiple elements including taxed retail, culture and entertainment, business office, catering and accommodation, and is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2024. Upon completion, the project will become a "new landmark" in the duty-free shopping map of Hainan Province. In the future, this project will form a south-north pattern with Sanya Haitangwan International Duty-free City, helping Hainan build an international tourist consumption center.

The Boao Caijiazhai Cultural Tourism Zone and Beautiful Village Construction Project, located in Liuke Village, Boao Town, Qionghai City, was officially launched in August 2019. With a total investment of RMB1 billion, the project will be constructed in three phases, and consists of Wanquan River Live-action Performance, high-end homestay, Fengqing Village, pastoral wellness center, boutique hot spring hotel, etc. This project intends to effectively promote the local economic development through the integration of agricultural tourism and cultural tourism. At the same time, the cultural tourism zone will also become a new business card for Qionghai tourism and an important service place for Boao Forum for Asia, to enhance the attraction of the tourism market in northern Hainan.

In accordance with the unified work deployment on resumption of work and production in Hainan Province, the Group will speed up the restoration of routes, to provide guarantee for the passenger transportation during the peak tourist season, pay close attention to the tourism development trend in Hainan and seize development opportunities, to help the rebound of passenger throughput of Meilan Airport.

Transportation within the Island

  • In terms of railways, efforts will be made to commence the construction of the Zhanjiang- Haikou High-speed Rail linking Zhanjiang and Haikou within this year. It is planned to open to traffic in 2024 together with the Guangzhou-ZhanjiangHigh-speed Rail linking Guangzhou and Zhanjiang. After the two high-speed railways open to traffic, Hainan Free Trade Port will be closely linked to the Guangdong-HongKong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It will be faster to enter the Guangdong-HongKong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and even Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei from Hainan. It also means that Hainan Province will soon integrate into the national "high-speed rail life circle" to effectively break the external traffic bottleneck and reduce logistics costs.
  • As for the highways, the construction of the G360 Wenchang-Lingao Expressway project commenced in September 2019, and the project is currently proceeding in an orderly manner. This project is one of the "Double Hundred" transportation poverty alleviation projects during the "13th Five-Year" period as determined by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Transport, and the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council, and also a major transportation infrastructure project during the "13th Five-Year" period in Hainan Province and the first horizontal line in the main highway network consisting of "three horizontal lines and one longitudinal line" in Hainan Province. The project starts from the east side of Qinglan Interchange on G9812 Wenchang-Qionghai Expressway, connects Qinglan Avenue, and ends at the east side of Lingao County, with a total length of 121.88 kilometers. It adopts the two-way and four-lanefirst-class arterial highway design standard and a total of 15 interchanges are set up across the line. Upon completion, the project will not only enhance the horizontal connection of cities and counties in northern Hainan, but also help improve the investment environment along the line. It is of great significance to promote the development of tourism in the whole region and the development of tourism in northeast Hainan and will also accelerate the realization of the "two-hour tourism traffic circle" strategic target in Hainan Province.
  • In respect of airport construction, Hainan Province will closely follow the Outline for the Construction of a Strong Country in Transportation (《交通強國建設綱要》) in building a safe, convenient, efficient, and green modern comprehensive transportation network to fully support the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. For building an international aviation hub, the construction of Meilan Airport Phase II Expansion Project (the "Phase II Expansion Project") will be sped up and preliminary study will be conducted on Danzhou Airport and Sanya New Airport. A modern high-quality comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network will be built with high positioning, high starting point and high standards.

Off-shoreDuty-free

Off-shore tourist duty-free shopping policy is a special preferential policy granted by the state to Hainan. Since its implementation, it has achieved remarkable results and exerted a positive influence on accelerating the development of Hainan as an international tourist consumption center and promoting local economic development of Hainan. On 29 June 2020, the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China (the "MOF"), the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (the "GAC"), and the State Administration of Taxation (the

"SAT") issued the Announcement on Off-shoreDuty-free Shopping Policy for Tourists of Hainan (《關於海南離島旅客免稅購物政策的公告》), further relaxing the off-shoreduty-free

policy of Hainan. It is clarified that from 1 July 2020, the off-shoreduty-free shopping quota of Hainan has increased from RMB30,000 per person per year to RMB100,000 per person per year and the types of off-shoreduty-free commodities have increased from 38 to 45 by adding 7 consumer-favored commodities including consumer electronics. Meanwhile, the duty-free limit of RMB8,000 for a single commodity has been abolished, greatly reducing the commodities subject to limit on single purchase quantity. The implementation of the new off-shoreduty-free policy has met consumers' demands for quality, branded, and international products under the trend of consumption upgrading. It has created great convenience for the purchase of duty-free products in China and will effectively attract overseas consumption back to China. It also heralds the further upgrade of Hainan's off-shoreduty-free consumption and will effectively drive the travel demand of inbound and outbound passengers of Hainan.

From 1 July to 31 July 2020, the off-shoreduty-free sales amount of Hainan was approximately RMB2.5 billion and the per capita consumption was approximately RMB5,527, representing a year-on-year increase of 240% and 82%, respectively.

For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the retail sales amount of off-shoreduty-free commodities of Hainan Province amounted to RMB8.572 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 30.7%. Haikou Meilan Airport Off-shoreDuty-free Shop ("Meilan Airport Off-shoreDuty- free Shop") sold a total of 2.0642 million duty-free commodities, recorded a sales amount of RMB1.255 billion, and received 447,700 customers, representing a year-on-year increase of 19%, 11% and -30%, respectively.

In the first half of 2020, affected by the Epidemic, the passenger flow of Meilan Airport Offshore Duty-free Shop dropped significantly. However, Meilan Airport Off-shoreDuty-free Shop made full use of the online platform to launch the "First Lipstick Festival", the "51 Perfect Holiday Plan", the "520 Guard Love", the "Fifth "66" Duty-free Festival", the "618 Awesome FUN Buying" and other interesting marketing campaigns to stimulate consumers' enthusiasm, and thus achieved sales revenue growth despite the decline in the number of consumers.

At present, the Department of Finance of Hainan Province, the Department of Commerce of Hainan Province, the Market Supervision Administration of Hainan Province and other units are adopting market-oriented competition methods including tender to select and determine the newly added off-shoreduty-free shopping operators in Hainan in accordance with the relevant

provisions under the Notice on Issuance of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Duty- free Shopping Stores for Off-shore Tourists in Hainan (Cai Qi [2011] No. 429) (《關於印發< 海南離島旅客免稅購物商店管理暫行辦法>的通知》(財企〔2011429)) as promulgated

by the MOF, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, the GAC and the SAT and following the principle of alignment to international levels in terms of three aspects, i.e. operating brand, variety and price, to further stimulate the vitality of the off-shore duty- free industry of Hainan and promote the full release of efficiency by the off-shoreduty-free consumption engine of Hainan.

The off-shoreduty-free policy is an important measure to support the construction of the international tourism consumption center in Hainan and one of the important initiatives for the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. It is not only conducive to stimulating the potential of domestic tourists to spend in Hainan, but also beneficial to benchmarking with well-known international cities as consumption centers, gathering high-quality consumption resources with an international perspective and improving the convenient international consumption promotion mechanism, so as to build Hainan into a tourist destination yearned by tourists from all over the world.

In the first half of 2020, downward pressure on global economy brought by trade frictions, geopolitical risks and other factors remained. In addition, the Epidemic had an impact on the global economy. Under the complex internal and external economic situation, the national economy first fell and then rose in the first half of the year. In the second quarter, economic growth turned from negative to positive, major indicators restored growth, and economic operations recovered steadily. In light of the three key tasks of coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, building a well-off society in an all-round way, and achieving a good start in the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, the Hainan Provincial Government has fully promoted the resumption of work and production, and formulated and implemented 8 measures to support small and medium-sized enterprises to overcome difficulties, 43 unconventional initiatives, and 30 measures to revitalize the tourism industry. In addition, the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port has been fully launched. In addition to further adjustments to the off-shoreduty-free shopping policy, Hainan Province has successively announced the implementation of a series of favorable policies including corporate and individual income tax, and refilling of bonded aviation oil for flights. As a result, the economic operation of the province is stable and orderly, the main economic indicators have gradually recovered, and the economic development structure has continued to optimize, showing a good development trend.

- 35 -

The Group believes that, in the second half of 2020, Hainan Province will accelerate the process of exploring the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, make every effort to promote the construction of international tourism consumption center in Hainan and accelerate the implementation of the policies under the Plan. Under the leadership of governments at all levels of Hainan Province, Meilan Airport will increase efforts to resume work and production in accordance with the unified deployment of epidemic prevention and control, and spare no effort to promote the construction of the Phase II Expansion Project, striving to make the project meet navigable conditions by the end of 2020. In terms of operation and management, the Company will thoroughly implement the CAAC's requirements on "Civil Aviation Service Quality Brand Building", promote the construction of "Four Types of Airports", and accommodate the requirements on normalized prevention and control, with a view to achieving the average release punctuality rate and take- off punctuality rate of originating flights of airports with an annual passenger traffic volume of more than 10 million passengers in China; the Group will closely follow the work deployment of the CAAC for the second half of 2020, firmly adhere to the bottom line of aviation safety, and strictly implement the requirement of "zero tolerance for safety hazards"; it will thoroughly

practice the Opinions on Implementing Green Development of Civil Aviation (《關於深入推 進民航綠色發展的實施意見》), take energy saving and carbon reduction of aircrafts as the

core, take improvement in efficiency of air traffic control as the focus and take green airport construction as the guarantee, so as to form a new model of green development from ground to air, from inside to outside, from production to management, and from sector to industry. In addition to ensuring safety and service quality, the Group will continue to reduce expenditures, generate new income sources and strictly control costs, so as to fully make up for the impact of the Epidemic on the results of the Company and strive for fruitful return to the shareholders.
