The reporter confirmed from the Civil Aviation Department that the U.S. Department of Transportation recently announced that Chinese airlines are allowed to increase scheduled passenger flights to and from the United States to 8 per week, which is equivalent to the total number of flights that the Civil Aviation Administration of China has recently allowed U.S. carriers to fly. Effective immediately. Previously, Chinese and American airlines operated 4 flights a week for a total of 8 round-trips; after this expansion, the number of round-trip routes between China and the United States will double to a total of 16 flights a week.
