Abstract

Due to the extensive blockade caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial situation of Chinese airlines has deteriorated. This paper mainly adopts the methods of literature research and case study. Through literature reading, this paper studies the development of the COVID-19 and the impact of the pandemic on the aviation industry. With the case study, China Southern was selected as the study case and the financial data for 2018-2021 was selected. The data comes from the company’s annual report and the Wind database. The research finds that China Southern has problems such as high debt repayment risk, reduced profitability and weakened development ability and puts forward suggestions including stabilizing cash flow, reducing operating costs, actively innovating products, and expanding its own business, hoping to help the company overcome the development difficulties and wait for the aviation industry to fully recover. The case of China South are relatively representative for Chinese aviation industry which can reflect how a typical china aviation company reacts to such an unprecedented global crisis. The in depth analysis of financial situation provides referential information on how pandemic crisis has influenced China Southern, by analyzing its financial status and financial difficulties, and proposes corresponding solutions.
