Share price of Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) (694 HK) underperformed that for Air China Ltd (753 HK) by wide margin in this year, which we believe is not justified.
Removal of lockdowns in various districts in Beijing and the revival of international passengers will be the major driver for BCIA to close the valuation gap.
The gradual relaxation of inbound international passengers at Beijing and the potential for a full border opening in early next years are the catalysts for BCIA's performance.

<li>Given significant presence in China, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shangri-la-asia-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:19690:1" rel="noopener">Shangri-La Asia (69 HK)</a> is geared towards China's more accommodative COVID policy. The good thing is that the share price has not yet reflected this. </li>
<li>Over the next 12-18 months, SLA will first benefit from tourism recovery outside of China, and then followed by powerful rebound in China's inbound travelers, particularly the high-end business visitors.</li>
<li>The resurgence in long-absented business visitors should bring in higher room yield and F&amp;B revenue. It has minimal refinancing and liquidity risks and these make its near-trough 0/48x P/B unjustified. </li>

China Southern Airlines / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>While China Southern Airlines (1055 HK) saw passenger traffic up 17.3% in Jan, this is at the expense of higher capacity, leading to a 1.8pp YoY passenger load contraction. </li>
<li>Its cargo traffic underperformed both CEA and Air China with a YoY decline; and this is disappointing in a period of time where airfreight rate is at record-breaking level.  </li>
<li>We see reduced local travel demand, higher operating costs, weaker cargo business, pressure on yield and higher base of comparison key challenges in 2022, and prefer Air China Ltd (753 HK). </li>
