Ā 

3.1 Particulars of, and reasons for, significant changes in major items in the accounting statements and key financial indicators of the Company

Ā 

|X| Applicable Not applicable

Ā 

Total profit of the Group for the first quarter of 2016 was RMB3,678 million, representing a year-on-year increase of RMB1,248 million; net profit attributable to the Company was RMB2,435 million, representing a year-on-year increase of RMB754 million. The increases in total profit of the Group and net profit attributable to the Company were mainly due to the year-on-year increase in revenue as a result of optimised operational arrangement and increased capacity deployment; the strengthened cost control through refining the management of business process and actively advancing the measures of "promoting direct sales and lowering agency fees"; and the year-on-year decrease in aviation fuel cost and the year-on-year increase in net exchange gain resulted from the low oil price and the change in exchange rate of US dollars against RMB.
