suspends 44 flights of Chinese airlines."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The U.S. Transportation Department said on Friday it would suspend 44 China-bound flights from the United States by four Chinese carriers in response to the Chinese government\u2019s decision to suspend some U.S. carrier flights over COVID-19 concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Biden administration action came after Chinese authorities suspended 20 United Airlines, 10 American Airlines and 14 Delta Air Lines flights since Dec. 31 after some passengers tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a

begin on Jan. 30 with Xiamen Airlines\u2019 scheduled Los Angeles-to-Xiamen flight and run through March 29, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/usa-china-aviation\/update-2-biden-administration-suspending-44-u-s-flights-by-chinese-carriers-idUSL1N2U11UW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision will cut some flights by Xiamen, Air China, China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The department said France and Germany have taken similar action against China\u2019s COVID-19 actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Transportation Department said China\u2019s suspension of the 44 flights \u201care adverse to the public interest and warrant proportionate remedial action.\u201d It added that China\u2019s \u201cunilateral actions against the named U.S. carriers are inconsistent\u201d with a China-U.S. bilateral agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/01\/air-france-klm-adds-biofuel-surcharge-tickets.html\">Air France-KLM adds biofuel surcharge to plane tickets.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The department said that if China revised its \u201cpolicies to bring about the necessary improved situation for U.S. carriers, the Department is fully prepared to once again revisit the action.\u201d But it also warned that if China cancels more flights, \u201cwe reserve the right to take additional action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China has all but shut its borders to travelers, cutting total international flights to just 200 a week, or 2% of pre-pandemic levels, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the recent cancellations, three U.S. airlines and four Chinese carriers were operating about 20 flights a week between the countries, well below the figure of more than 100 per week before the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top
