WASHINGTON :The United States will allow Chinese airlines to increase U.S. passenger services to 12 weekly round-trips, the Transportation Department said on Wednesday, equal to the number of flights Beijing has permitted for American carriers.
USDOT's order said its goal was"a gradual, broader reopening of the U.S.-China air services market." China in March reopened its borders to foreign tourists for the first time in the three years after abandoning COVID-related border controls for its own citizens in January. USDOT noted American began operating two additional roundtrip weekly flights to Shanghai from Texas in March after Chinese pandemic restrictions were dropped.
U.S. airlines and other foreign carriers are barred from flying over Russia in retaliation for the United States banning Russia from flights over the U.S. in March 2022 after its invasion of Ukraine.
