In this paper, we use the civil aviation passenger reservation record data to analyze the characteristics of air passenger group mobility behaviors. We find that the airline network has restriction on passengers traveling, which causes the group travel length distribution to be more consistent with the stretched exponential distribution and to have no scale-free property. The passenger travel interval time satisfies a truncated power law distribution rather than the power law distribution. Meanwhile, holidays have a great influence on passengers traveling. In particular, during the Spring Festival, the summer vacation, and National Day, the number of traveling passengers is far more than at any other time. And passengers who will travel during the holidays prefer to book tickets in advance. By analyzing the throughput, we find that it has a periodicity and is easy to be affected by festival and holidays. Moreover, the throughput of the airport is greatly related to the number of cities which are navigable to each other.
