Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council: The launch of the M503 route is to alleviate congestion in relevant airspace and routes. Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese businessmen are eager to fully resume cross-Strait direct flights as soon as possible.

Currently, 14 cities in mainland China operate more than 500 passenger flights on cross-strait routes every week, transporting more than 80,000 passengers. Taiwan may allow tour groups to visit the mainland on March 1. Will the mainland follow up and relax the freedom of travel for mainland tourists to Taiwan?
