This year's Spring Festival holiday lasted for 8 days, and the people's enthusiasm for leisure tourism was high. With its beautiful natural scenery and abundant tourism resources, Sanya attracts a large number of tourists. With the halfway point of the holiday and the return peak approaching, in view of the current shortage of air tickets, will Sanya Airport coordinate with airlines and other relevant units to increase capacity?
The reporter called Sanya Phoenix International Airport as a passenger, and the customer service staff told the reporter that the relevant information of the flight is subject to the requirements of the airline, "At present, I have not received any notice related to the increase in capacity." ”
In 2018, a similar situation occurred in Sanya. At that time, Hainan outlying air tickets have been rising since the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the price of air tickets from Sanya to Guangzhou, Beijing, Harbin and other places has exceeded 10,000 yuan, and some are even close to 20,000 yuan, but it is still difficult to find a ticket.

He also reminded passengers that when traveling during the holiday, they need to book round-trip tickets in advance and plan their trips.
