China, which has been "closed" for three years because of the popularity of crown diseases, has finally been opened again, but no U.S. airlines are scrambling to restart the busy routes between the two largest economies of China and the United States.
Bloomberg Commercial Weekly reported that before the outbreak of the epidemic in 2019, Sino -US airlines had an average of 340 direct flights to and from the two countries per week.There are only 24 times a week.
A person familiar with the matter who does not want to disclose the name says that the largest airlines in the United States, USA, Da Mei Airlines and United Airlines, will continue to maintain the level of Chinese and American flights that have been reduced during the epidemic, but this is not because they are expected to be weak.It is because Europe and the United States prohibit flights from flying over the Russian airspace, which makes them unwilling to increase flights.
This measure is suitable for about 30 countries including the United States, and China has not been limited by this.
The relationship between Beijing and Washington has deteriorated, and it has also been shaded on the prospect of solving this problem quickly through diplomacy.
During the same period, airlines such as British Airlines and UAE Airlines under Japan ’s Sky Airlines, IAG SA, have restarted or announced daily flights to resume or plan to resume flying to Chinese cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai.
The Chinese route of Korean Air has reached the pre -epidemic level, from 13 flights per week to 84 flights in April, and plans to increase to 99 flights within this month.
