  1. General principles

  Efficiently coordinate operation safety, epidemic prevention and control, and industry recovery and development. In accordance with the principles of safety first, market leadership, and security first, the resumption of international passenger flights will be steadily promoted to meet the needs of international personnel exchanges and foreign economic and trade exchanges.

Gradually resume the acceptance of applications for international passenger charter flights by Chinese and foreign airlines, and fully restore the pre-epidemic procedures and requirements for the 2023 summer and autumn seasons; resume accepting applications for inbound business jets in accordance with the pre-epidemic procedures.

  3. Optimize the inbound flight guarantee process at each port airport, improve operational efficiency, cancel the prevention and control requirements such as "four designated, four fixed, and two concentrated", fully release guarantee resources, and improve the guarantee ability to receive international flights.

When port airports have insufficient support resources such as personnel and facilities and equipment, and it is difficult to meet the needs of airlines for additional flights in a short period of time, they should make an announcement in a timely manner to clarify the recovery time and explain it to the outside world.

The cancellation of inbound flights involves measures such as airport-related entry security personnel, closed-loop management of domestic and international crews, entry nucleic acid testing, and entry isolation. Employees are required to do a good job in personal protection and health monitoring, and air crew are required to wear masks and disinfect their hands. Improve the disinfection work of cabin bathrooms, strengthen publicity and guidance, and supervise passengers to wear masks.

  6. Strengthen the safety supervision of the flight operations of international passenger routes of Chinese and foreign airlines, and strengthen the bottom line of safety.

  7. Strengthen the management of international air transport prices, in accordance with bilateral air transport agreements and relevant national price laws and regulations, cooperate with market supervision departments to strengthen supervision and inspection of unfair competition in international air transport prices, maintain normal price order in the air transport market, and protect consumers and the legitimate rights and interests of operators.
