BEIJING: China said on Thursday it will allow more foreign carriers to fly into the mainland, shortly after Washington barred Chinese passenger carriers from flying to the United States citing Beijing's restrictions on American airlines.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China said in a statement that qualifying foreign carriers currently barred from operating flights to mainland China will be allowed once-per-week flights into a city of their choosing starting on Jun 8.Hong Kong and Macau, though part of China, have their own aviation authorities and set their own rules.
US President Donald Trump's administration has barred Chinese passenger carriers from flying into America starting Jun 16 as it pressures Beijing to let US airlines to resume flights to the country. The CAAC in late March said Chinese airlines could maintain just one weekly passenger flight on one route to any given country and that carriers could fly no more than the number of flights they were flying on Mar 12.But because U.S. passenger airlines had stopped all flights by Mar 12, they have been unable to resume flights to China.
The CAAC also said all airlines will be allowed to increase the number of international flights involving China to two per week if no incoming passengers on their flights test positive for COVID-19 for 3 consecutive weeks.
