The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on Saturday said that it will work toward a significant increase in direct flights between China and the United States in 2024.

Regular, direct passenger flights between the world's top-two economies have risen in number to 63 per week, official data shows.

Also in 2024, China will actively expand air traffic rights arrangements with Belt and Road countries, and deepen cooperation with Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the CAAC said.

The administration will also work to improve visa and border control policies, and facilitate customs clearance processes further.

民航局将推动中美直航航班大幅增加

记者6日从中国民航局获悉，民航2024年将推动中美直航航班大幅增加。
民航局数据显示，中美定期直飞客运航班已增加至每周63班，与“一带一路”共建国家之间的恢复水平高于国际航线整体水平6.2个百分点，有力促进了国际人员交往。
民航局相关负责人表示，民航今年将积极扩大与“一带一路”共建国家航权安排，深化与中亚、中东、非洲等地区的项目合作；提升现有三、四航权资源使用效率，支持航空公司根据航线网络拓展需要用好境外第五航权；推动优化签证和出入境政策，提高通关便利化水平，提升国际航班出入境效率。
为进一步推动国产民机走出国门，这位负责人说，民航今年将做好C919、ARJ21证后管理，做好C919、ARJ21改型优化适航审查，推动国产民机性能持续提升；做好CJ-1000A、AG600等国家重点型号审定，推进C919飞机EASA认可审查等。
