U.S. Pulls Back on Threatened China Airline Ban

U.S. Pulls Back on Threatened China Airline Ban

The United States on Friday reversed course on a potential Chinese airline ban after Beijing said it would begin to ease COVID-19 restrictions that have prevented foreign carriers from restoring service to China. U.S. airlines have reduced their schedules due to the pandemic, including cutting flights to China, but as the worst of the pandemic appears to fade, they are taking small steps to rebuild their international networks. Both Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) and United Airlines Holdings (NASDAQ: UAL) have announced plans to resume limited service to China, pending government approval.
