France on Monday started restricting Chinese airlines to one passenger flight per week, saying it was acting in response to curbs imposed by Beijing on French carriers.
 

“From July 13, Chinese companies will only be authorised to make one weekly trip,” the French embassy in Beijing said on its website.
 

The French embassy said three Chinese carriers, Air China, China Eastern Airlines Corp, and China Southern Airlines Co, were each authorised to make weekly flights from Chinese cities to Paris.

It said France was applying intense diplomatic pressure to get the go-ahead from Beijing for the extra flights. In the meantime, it advised travellers to be prepared for disruption to air links between the countries.
 

The Chinese embassy in France said in a post on its social media account that the French government was asking to land all three weekly flights operated by Air France in Shanghai.
 

But given the number of international flights Shanghai is receiving, the city faces immense pressure in terms of virus control efforts, the embassy said, adding it was puzzled by the French decision to slash Chinese flights just as Shanghai agreed to receive the second Air France flight.
 

法国限制中国航班数量,从巴黎转机的朋友们注意了

法国驻华大使馆在官网发出消息,表示法方出于「对等」原则,将限制中国和法国之间每周的往返航班数量。
 

受此规定影响,法国只有法航一个航司拥有飞往中国的航班,也就是说每周法国只有一班航班可以飞往中国。
 

相比之下,中国共有三个航司拥有在中法之间往来的线路,分别是国航、东航和南航。
 

法方认为,出于对等原则,既然法国的一周只有一班能往返中国,那么中国每周也应该只有一班航班能往返法国。
