B |     (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)                        。相较于场内标准化期货交易，场外期权可根据企业真实敞口定制期限、行权价格、保护区间、结算方式，能够精准匹配企业采购、库存、销售、锁价经营的个性化需求，对冲价格涨跌带来的经营利润波动。但场外期权属于高门槛、强监管的场外衍生品业务，监管明确：个人投资者禁止参与场外期权交易，仅合规机构实体可...。
