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

A |     中新社合肥8月22日电 (记者 张俊)第四届两岸关系庐州论坛22日在安徽省合肥市举行。来自两岸的70余名专家学者参会，围绕两岸产业合作、文化交流等议题展开研讨。         　　台湾国际战略学会执行长罗庆生聚焦文化交流领域发言。    (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)                        。他表示，近年来，大陆优质文化产品受到两岸民众的共同认同，民间自发的文化互动日益频繁，比如影片《给阿嬷的情书》凭借真挚的情感引发台湾观影热潮……这些都是两岸文化共鸣的生动体现。         　　台湾中华妇联总会主任委员雷倩表示，台湾在半导体、精密机械、农业等领域有较深积淀；安徽依托科创优势推动新兴产业快速成长，量子科技、人工智能等基础研究实力扎实。“皖台两地产业能够强强联合、优势互补，开辟新的发展空间。”雷倩说。         　　针对张雪机车在台湾引发的关注，雷倩认为：“抽刀断水水更流，封锁隔绝阻挡不了两岸交流的大势。”她表示，当台湾青年通过多元渠道直观了解大陆的发展面貌，会有越来越多的人选择来大陆学习就业，两岸交流融合是水到渠成的过程。(完)                【编辑:张令旗】。
