澳洲航空于1920年在澳大利亚昆士兰内陆地区成立，现已发展成为澳大利亚最大航空公司，多年以来，其一直以全球最安全航司之一闻名于世。 University institutions all over the world are interested in ambitious applicants and always help students adapt to a new place. They are welcomed. Young academics who have chosen education in Russia have shared their experience of studying abroad. They talked about their achievements and how their life and work at South Ural State University (SUSU) is arranged.,Dr. Bagaleu Uday from Warangal, India Came to Russia in 2018,© Bagaleu Uday/Personal archiveBagaleu Uday Bagaleu Uday © Bagaleu Uday/Personal archive,I have been living in Chelyabinsk for three and a half years now. After defending my thesis in chemical engineering at the National Institute of Technology Warangal, India, I decided to continue my research in another country. And when I heard about the latest Russian developments in the field of biotechnology, I had a burning desire to work at SUSU.,For a scientist, moving to another country is a great opportunity to raise his scientific work to a higher level. I learned a lot in the field of food and biotechnology and can now compete with strong researchers. Moreover, because of the education and experience I gained in India, I have been offered an interesting job in the field of packaging material development.,Now I am a senior researcher at the SUSU Department of Food and Biotechnology. This year alone, I have had four publications in Scopus magazine (Scopus is a unified international scientific database - ed. note Sputnik). It was also a great achievement for me to win the young scientist competition. I won a three-year grant to develop a double food-enriching emulsion.,To be honest, I never had any acute feelings about leaving my country. In fact, I consider Chelyabinsk my second home. As long as I work or do my research, I feel comfortable here. My instructor and lab colleagues are always there for me, whether it's my work or just a walk through the city. Furthermore, SUSU launched English-language programs last year. The language will help in traveling abroad to build up my research work. I think science is the only field where people from all the countries can work together to make progress around the world. Science knows no borders.,Uvindu Wijeweera, Postgraduate Student, President of the South Ural Association of International Students and Alumni,I come from Sri Lanka, but I have been studying at SUSU for seven years: I completed my bachelor's and master's degrees in political theory and now I am a postgraduate student in my final year. My research work and future career are closely connected with history. And I am very interested in studying and analyzing the development of other countries, it is very important for a political scientist. Even as a child, I read a lot about Russian literature and, of course, in the end I wanted to see everything with my own eyes. My parents also inspired me to go to another country: my father received part of his education abroad.,In addition to a good political science education, my university invests in the recreation, sports, and social life of its students. I think this is an especially important point for humanitarian professionals on their way to harmonious and well-rounded development, and it is also of great interest to students from other countries. When I came to SUSU, they helped me adapt: they helped me to understand everyday problems and to get acquainted with the culture and classmates. Many foreigners study in English programs or study the first year in Russian at a preparatory faculty. By the way, most of the guys from other countries have never seen winter. It was in Chelyabinsk that I saw snow for the first time in my life.,The experience of working at the international student association has helped me a lot in my studies and academics. Political science is a public science, often public and communication-driven, so a leadership position has proven to be a good place to practice my communication skills.,In general, it seems to me that going through one of the stages of education abroad is a good decision for today's student. This is a great opportunity to get to know a new culture and country. Talent is appreciated in all corners of the planet, and if you have the desire to develop in big steps, the desire to work at the international level, it is worth thinking about discovering this huge world for yourself as early as possible: start from your desires and choose the best of the options.,South Ural State University English-Taught Programs,The official Telegram channel of South Ural State University。
澳洲航空国际首席执行官Cam Wallace对此指出，“自新冠疫情缓解以来，澳大利亚和中国之间的旅行需求并未像预期那样强劲恢复。几个月来，我们往返上海的航班一直在半满员状态……我们将继续通过我们的合作伙伴和现有飞往香港的航班保持在中国的业务，并期待在未来重返上海。”
2024年3月，澳大利亚旅游局中国区总经理韩彬在接受媒体采访时曾指出，2022年澳洲仅接待了8.9万中国游客，2023年则接待了近55万中国游客，其中2023年12月单月共有6.6万中国游客，单月游客数量恢复至2019年同期的近六成。而考虑到2023年8月澳大利亚才进入中国人出境团队游名单，恢复速度已颇为显著。
5月14日，多位正在澳大利亚留学、工作的华人对时代财经表示，在中国往返澳大利亚期间首选并未考虑过澳洲航空，原因均较为一致——国内航司票价比澳洲航空便宜。
截至发稿，时代财经在去哪儿官网上看到，6月8日由上海飞往悉尼的航班中，澳洲航空无论是直飞航班抑或含中转的航班，票价均在3100元以上，而南航价格则最低，当天多个航班票价仅为1245元。
留学生小周（化名）对此表示，内地航司比澳洲航空便宜一半，即使包含中转地、耗时更久，但买机票还是坚持“哪家航司便宜选哪家，多出近两千块钱买东西不香吗？”
多年来，中国留学生数量一直在澳大利亚国际学生中位列首位。澳大利亚政府教育部数据显示，2019年在澳中国留学生数量为21.20万人，此后三年一路下滑，2023年略有回升，至16.64万人。
一位正准备自澳洲毕业的中国留学生莎莎（化名）则对时代财经表示，其往返中澳时较多选择南方航空与国泰航空，作为两个航司的会员，回国时搭乘上述航司的航班更为方便，“来到澳洲后，也有搭乘过澳洲航空、维珍航空飞往澳洲其他地方，印象中这俩家餐食挺不错。”莎莎称。
广州人迪迪（化名）目前正在澳大利亚留学，其告诉时代财经，自2021年开始，其往返中澳有过7、8次，但因为广州仅南航有直飞悉尼的航班，其首选均为南航，“疫情期间会选国泰航空或者新加坡航空。
C | 澳洲航空好像比较少飞国内，而且（对比起来）澳洲航空票价太贵了。”
大红（化名）则已在澳大利亚定居工作，平时只有遇到较为合适的机会才会在节假日期间回国，她也表示，回国航班仅会选择国内航空公司，“国内航空比澳洲航空便宜很多”；在澳大利亚攻读建筑专业的小如（化名）已决定毕业后留澳发展，“回国时搭乘四川航空回来，并无特别留意航空公司，售票软件上显示哪个便宜我就选哪个。”
有内地航司相关人士对时代财经表示，中国内地航司扎堆在中澳航线上，是拉低机票价格的原因之一。
航班管家数据显示，截至2024年4月，由中国内地至澳大利亚通航航线中，内地共有北京、上海、广州、重庆、成都、海口等多个航点，而澳大利亚仅有悉尼、墨尔本、布里斯班三个航点。
截至2024年4月，在中澳航线中共有9家航司参与运营，其中仅澳洲航空一家为国际承运人。
D | 东航、南航、厦航航班量居于前三，合计占总航班量70.2%；而澳洲航空执行航班量44班次，排名第六，仅占中澳航线总航班量的4.5%。

航班管家提供给时代财经的数据显示，2024年前4月，中国内地的国际航班中，国际航司一直维持在三成左右的份额，而相比国内航司约八成的恢复率（与2019年同期相比），国际航司恢复率仅约六成。
