China may extend curbs on international flights until June 30, say US diplomats | |
(32 minutes later) | |
Chinese civil aviation authorities plan to extend their curbs on international flights until June 30, the US embassy in Beijing said in a travel advisory on Friday. Beijing has drastically cut such flights since March to contain the spread of the coronavirus amid concerns over infections brought into the country by arriving passengers. | |
The ‘Five One’ policy allows mainland carriers to fly just one flight a week on one route to any country and allows foreign airlines to operate just one flight a week to China. | |
Last week, Washington accused Beijing of making it impossible for its airlines to resume services to China. The US Transportation Department said in an order published on a government website that Delta Air Lines and United Airlines want to resume flights to China in June. | |
US airlines are not flying to China because they suspended services before the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) adopted the flight curbs. A CAAC news department official told Reuters there has been no change to the existing rules. |
