The US Department of Transportation said on Aug 11 that Chinese airlines could make 18 round-trip flights to the US a week, up from 12, starting Sept 1. By the end of October, the number of such flights will rise to 24 per week.
From Sept 1, Chinese and US airlines will be allowed to make a total of 36 round-trip flights a week, with the number rising to 48 from Oct 29.
By then, the number of passenger flights between the two countries will have doubled, offering far greater convenience for travelers.
It will be the second increase in such flights since August 2020. The first was in May, when the US Department of Transportation said the number of direct flights between the two countries would rise to 12 per week — matching the number of those operated by Chinese carriers.
