United StatesMinistry of Transportation's statement is only for Chinese airlines, and ChinaStatement from the Civil Aviation AdministrationInvolves all airlines, whether they are Chinese airlines or foreign airlines.My personal opinionIntroduced by ChinaNew DealMore reasonable and creative,Based on the nucleic acid test results of passengers after landing on inbound flights, implement innovative measures for airlines operating flights"Circuit breaker" and "incentive" measures. According to the U.S. Department of TransportationAllowChina AirlinesOperating with permission from ChinaAmerican AirlinesScheduled passenger transport with the same numberFlight, we hope for completely equal bilateral flight arrangements. I think this is a misunderstanding of the principle of reciprocity of air traffic rights. Parity in traffic rights means that both carriers have the same qualifications and conditions, and does not require that the number of flights between the two parties is completely equal. What is certain is that the air rights game between China and the United States will continue for some time.
On how to solve the problem of a large number of Chinese citizens in the United States who want to return to China,Yang HangjunProfessormeans,The new policy announced by the Civil Aviation Administration of China on June 4 will allow three U.S. airlines to resume flights between China and the United States. This will solve some of the problems and allow more Chinese citizens studying or living in the United States to buy air tickets back to China. The Chinese government can also send temporary charter flights to bring back Chinese citizens stranded in the United States. Priority should be given to returning Chinese students, the elderly, the young, sick, pregnant, and people temporarily abroad who are clearly in difficulty or urgently need to return home.
