At the end of March, the Chinese government decided because of the corona virus to severely limit flight connections with the rest of the world. They were very afraid of new corona infections. China was the first country in the world to have corona infections. The Chinese government has announced that from June 8, a limited number of flights to China will be allowed again. The Chinese aviation authority CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China) has reported that foreign airlines that have so far been unwelcome in China will operate one flight per week to and from China from Monday, June 8.

However, there are strict rules, namely the passengers will be tested for corona before they arrive in China. Airlines that do not have corona patients on board for three consecutive weeks will later be allowed to fly to and from China twice a week. China can also refuse access to airlines. If a maximum of five passengers are tested positive for corona, the airline will be banned from flying for one week. If 10 passengers are tested positive for corona, the airline will be banned from flying for no less than four weeks. And so every airline starts over and over again after a flight ban.

Meanwhile, there are discussions with the United States, on Wednesday, the United States government announced that Chinese airlines will no longer be welcome in the United States from Tuesday, June 16. This is in response to the admission of 1 weekly flight from foreign airlines to China. The United States disagrees, saying that China makes it impossible for the US to restart flights to China in this way. Incidentally, China has continued with flights from China to the United States, of course with fewer flights. The US government wants to go according to various medium policy against Chinese airlines will be relaxed if China simply allows American airlines again.
