US DoT: Chinese carriers now permitted to operate two weekly frequencies to the US

US Department of Transportation (DoT) modified (05-Jun-2020) an order suspending the scheduled passenger services of China's carriers to and from the US from 16-Jun-2020. US DoT will now grant Air China, Beijing Capital Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Sichuan Airlines and Xiamen Airlines the right to operate two weekly frequencies to the US. The modification is in response to CAAC revising its restrictions to permit US carriers the ability to operate one flight per week each. [more - original PR]
