China and U.S. to Allow Air Carriers to Double Flights Between Nations
News 18China and the United States will each allow air carriers to double current flights to eight per week between the world's two largest economies, the U.S. Transportation Department said. The department said it will allow four Chinese passenger airlines currently flying to the United States to double flights to eight weekly round-trips, as China has agreed to allow U.S. carriers to double flights to China. United Airlines said it will increase flights to China to four flights per week from San Francisco to Shanghai starting Sept. 4, while the department said Delta Airlines was also eligible to go from two-times weekly to four-times-weekly. The U.S. government still hopes China will agree to restore full U.S. flight rights under their bilateral aviation agreement, the Transportation Department has said, adding as China allows additional flights it will respond in kind.
