U.S. Permits More Flights by Chinese Carriers

What’s new: Chinese airlines will be able to operate 12 weekly round-trips to the U.S., up from eight, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) said in an order issued Wednesday.

The upgrade matches the number of flights China has permitted for American carriers but is still far short of the average 300 weekly flights between the countries before pandemic restrictions were imposed in 2020.
