airline 01The United States and China will each allow four weekly flights between the two countries, the US Transportation Department said on Monday, easing travel restrictions in the midst of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
 

The US government still hopes China will agree to restore full US flight rights under their bilateral aviation agreement, the Transportation Department said in its revised order on China flights on Monday.
 

The United States had threatened to bar Chinese passenger flights on June 16 due to Beijing’s curbs on US airlines, and has raised concerns about the number of charter flights Chinese carriers want to fly.

airline 03Among US airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines had each sought to restart daily passenger flights to China in June but changed their plans in the absence of government approval.
 

Following China’s agreement to allow four US flights in total, Delta said it would operate two flights to Shanghai from Seattle next week and one weekly flight from Seattle and Detroit beginning in July, all via Seoul.
 

United said it was aiming to relaunch service to China in the weeks ahead.
 

中美进一步放松航班限制

中美航班运营有了新进展,中国日前批复美联航和达美航空恢复中美航班,每周各运营两班;两家航空公司已经获得上海市疫情防控保障能力确认函。
 

中国媒体周一援引上海接收函称,经疫情防控保障能力综合评估,批复美联航7月6日起执飞旧金山至上海浦东的国际航线每周一班的基础上,再增加一班,即每周共计两班,执行日期为7月6日至10月24日。达美航空也收到了类似的确认函,6月18日起执飞西雅图至上海的国际航班,每周两班。
 

达美航空表示,最终执飞时间和航班频次尚需中国民航局批复,“原本6月18日的执飞时间可能来不及了,现在在报批6月27日的首班执飞”。
 

报道指出,中美双方近来就运营中美航线问题进行了多次博弈,中国民航局新闻发言人、航空安全办公室主任熊杰上周表示,5月份民航主要生产指标降幅较上月大幅收窄,目前正与相关国家就调整国际客运航班事宜进行沟通,与相关国家的航班近期有望适度增加。
 

美国政府进一步放宽了限制中国航空公司飞往美国的客运航班的计划。
 

美国交通部当地时间周一说,将允许中国航空公司每周合计运营4趟往返航班,是其本月早些时候设定水平的两倍。
 

报道认为,周一宣布的这一改变进一步表明,中美都在两国围绕航空服务的对峙局面中作出让步,这一对峙可能导致两国间的定期客运服务中断。
 

达美航空周一表示,计划下周从西雅图经停首尔飞往上海。7月,这家航空公司每周将各有一班从西雅图和底特律往返中国的航班。一名发言人说,根据与中国达成的协议,该航空公司将在起飞前测量乘客的体温。
 

报道指出,美国交通部设定的新水平能够适应中国客机目前的飞行水平。4家中国航空公司——国航、南航、厦航和东航——现在运营两国间的定期客运航班。
