China News Service, February 8th Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on the 8th that we have made relevant preparations for the resumption of direct flights between the two sides of the strait, and there are no restrictions or obstacles.
It is hoped that Taiwan will comply with public opinion and take pragmatic measures, and stop using the epidemic as an excuse to prevaricate with so-called "evaluation" and "consideration" to prevent the resumption of direct flights between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
On the same day, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference.
A reporter asked at the meeting that the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council recently stated that the mainland aviation authorities hope that Taiwan will give priority to resuming 16 cross-strait direct flight destinations. Which 16 destinations are they?
How will it be promoted in the future?
In this regard, Zhu Fenglian pointed out that at present, the epidemic situation in the mainland has been well controlled, and compatriots on both sides of the strait and the aviation industry are eagerly looking forward to the full restoration of direct flights between the two sides.
According to the reflections of Taiwan compatriots and relevant groups on the island, on February 1, the mainland’s aviation authorities urged Taiwan to resume cross-strait direct flight destinations through the contact channel of the "Air Transport Agreement across the Taiwan Strait", giving priority to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Wuxi, and Hangzhou. 16 Taiwan compatriots including Taiwan, Ningbo, Wuhan, Fuzhou, Hefei, Chongqing, Changsha, Zhengzhou, Haikou, Xi'an, Shenyang, and Harbin reported relatively concentrated cross-strait direct flight destinations.
Promoting the resumption of the above-mentioned direct flights is the first step in the comprehensive restoration of cross-strait passenger direct flights. In the future, we will continue to promote the resumption of more cross-strait direct flights according to the needs of Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese businessmen to meet the needs of cross-strait exchanges and exchanges.
Zhu Fenglian said that it needs to be emphasized that we have made relevant preparations for the resumption of cross-strait direct flights without any restrictions or obstacles.
It is hoped that Taiwan will comply with public opinion and take pragmatic measures, and stop using the epidemic as an excuse to prevaricate with so-called "evaluation" and "consideration" to prevent the resumption of direct flights between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
