NOTES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
As at 31 December 2022, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB70,237 million. The liquidity of the Group is primarily dependent on its ability to maintain adequate cash inflows from operations and sufficient financing to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. Considering the Company's sources of liquidity and the unutilised bank facilities of RMB110,945 million as at 31 December 2022, the Directors believe that adequate funding is available to fulfil the Group's debt obligations and capital expenditure requirements to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future when preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB"). For the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, information is considered material if such information is reasonably expected to influence decisions made by primary users. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Listing Rules and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
2. APPLICATION OF AMENDMENTS TO IFRSs
Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current year
In the current year, the Group has applied the following amendments to IFRSs issued by the IASB for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the Group's annual period beginning on 1 January 2022 for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
|

|
Amendments to IAS 37 |

|
Amendments to IFRSs |

The application of the amendments to IFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group's financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.
New and amendments to IFRSs in issue but not yet effective
The Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Performance obligations for contracts with customers
Passenger revenue is recognised when transportation services are provided. Besides, the Group recognises the expected breakage amount as passenger revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the passenger (or flown revenue) based on historical experience. Ticket sales for transportation not yet provided are recorded in air traffic liabilities.
The Group operates frequent-flyer programme and provides free services or products to the customers according to the miles they earn. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.

In determining the Group's geographical information, revenue is attributed to the segments based on the origin or destination of each flight. Assets, which consist principally of aircraft and ground equipment, supporting the Group's worldwide transportation network, are mainly registered/located in Mainland China. According to the business demand, the Group needs to flexibly allocate different aircraft to match the need of the route network. An analysis of the assets of the Group by geographical distribution has therefore not been included.
Revenue from transactions with CNAHC and its subsidiaries (other than the Group) amounted to 21% of the Group's revenue during the year ended 31 December 2022 (2021: 16%), which is the only single customer with revenue from transactions of 10% or more of the Group's revenue.

2022 REVIEW
The year 2022 is an important year for the comprehensive implementation of the "14th Five-Year" Plan and the commencement of the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round manner. Over the past year, the Group rose to challenges and fought hard to ensure safe operation with its best endeavors, exert itself to respond to operating difficulties, persistently improve its services, steadily deepen the reform, continue to push ahead with the in-depth development of the Board and comprehensively promote party building and sustained smooth and orderly development in all aspects of work.
Fulfilling its responsibilities by maintaining safe and stable development. The Group always regards safety as its primary political responsibility and top priority and adopts intense and solid measures in this regard. The concept of safe development has been applied comprehensively and the responsibilities of safe operation have been strictly implemented. In order to conscientiously implement the work requirements of the Work Safety Committee of the State Council and the Civil Aviation Administration, the Group further conducted major inspection for safety purpose and investigation and rectification of hidden safety hazards, thereby drawing a successful end to the Three-year Action Plan for Specific Safety Rectification. Based on the characteristics of its operation, the Group also carried out in-depth general survey of the technological conditions of all of its fleet, continued to strengthen the prevention and control of operation risks of flights and improved the security assessment of key routes, which have enhanced its safety security capability and ensured safe operation. Strenuous efforts have been made to promote style development and enhance the awareness of safety issues as well as the relevant rules and regulations among the frontline staff to consolidate the foundation of security work. Important transportation safeguard missions for the Beijing Winter Olympics, the 20th National Congress of the CPC and other major events were completed with high quality during the period.
Stabilizing the fundamentals of operation with a tenacious spirit. Upholding the strong determination to control loss and bottom out, the Group coordinated work in relation to operation arrangement and safe operation and kept the fundamentals of its operation stable amidst the challenging and complicated operation conditions. The Group dynamically adjusted its transport capacity based on market demand, aiming to promote the optimization of both domestic and international fleet capacity structure, consolidate the market share of its main bases and maintain its operation scale on the basis of serving the large domestic market. It has also exercised refined control over marketing activities, actively maintained the order of the passenger transportation market, improved sales arrangement and revenue management and enriched the service and product mix in order to stabilize flight revenue. Furthermore, the Group further implemented the mechanism that covert passenger aircraft for cargo operations to consolidate the economies of scale of cargo flights by passenger aircraft with a view to actively broadening its revenue base.

OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE
Making contributions to the national development strategies by the civil aviation industry in China
China's civil aviation industry will pursue the mission of giving full play to its role as a strategic industry during the process of high-quality development of China. Playing a supporting role in promoting the economic circulation and expanding traffic flows, it will further improve the modern airport system and route network mutually in line with national economic and social development, the spatial development pattern of the country and the layout of major productivity, contributing to the major national regional strategies and regional coordinated development strategies. Promoting the development of the "Silk Road in the Sky", the industry will further optimize its overseas market layout and expand the global coverage to facilitate China's further participation in the division of labor and cooperation among the industries globally. Playing the role of promoting the structural transformation and upgrade of the economy, the civil aviation industry will encourage manufacturers to continuously improve the quality and performance of their products, thereby promoting the development and robust growth of China's aviation industry. Playing the leading role of civil aviation industry in the upgrading of consumption, it will continue to innovate services and products to improve the people's quality of life. Giving play to its leading role in the comprehensive transportation system, the civil aviation industry will develop a modern comprehensive transportation hub and implement multiple-modal interlink operation to facilitate the rapid development of China into a strong nation in terms of transport.
Gradual resumption of passenger and freight volume in the Chinese civil aviation industry
There is no change in the fundamentals of the Chinese economy or in the basic trend of economic stability and long-term improvement, thereby the economy will achieve steady recovery. Although the world economy is undergoing profound adjustment, the overall trend of economic globalization will remain unchanged, while China's development still sees strategic opportunities. Leveraging the super large-scale domestic demand market formed with a population of 1.4 billion, including a middle- class group of more than 400 million, China is striving to build a new development paradigm which is based on domestic macro-circulation, along with the international and domestic dual-circulation under mutual promotion. Civil aviation demand in China will continue to rise and market potential will remain immense.
In 2023, China's civil aviation industry will embrace a turning point for recovery. Business travel and holiday tours will accordingly continue to be growth drivers of the aviation industry, and air travel demand will become increasingly diverse, customized and popular. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, construction of new airports and airport renovations and expansions are underway in various regions and the capability in air traffic management is steadily increased, which will better satisfy the demand of the industrial development.
Competition landscape of the domestic aviation market
It is expected that the competitive pressure will be mitigated in the domestic aviation market. Regarding the demand side, as the national economy remains stable and improved, the foundation of industrial recovery and development will be more solid, envisaging the domestic market demand will continue its revival. On the supply side, the major airlines will proactively adjust the pace of fleet retirement in accordance with market conditions, with the industry-wide fleet size (cumulative annual average number of aircraft registered) growing at a slower pace in 2022 than in 2021. The slowdown in growth of the industry's fleet size during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period is conducive to alleviating the operating pressure arising from the overall excess capacity in the short term and the competition in the industry during the recovery and growth period of post-"14th Five-Year Plan". In terms of policy, the reform of the civil aviation flight schedule management system and mechanism supports the tilting of core resources towards the main operators of hub airports, leading to the differentiated operation of various types of airlines in the market and reducing homogeneous competition.
