What’s new: China’s civil aviation regulator will terminate all pandemic restrictions on international flights as of Jan. 8, according to a document issued Wednesday.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) in its Work Plan to Resume International Flights said previous Covid controls including the so-called “five one” policy will be removed. The policy, in effect since March 2020, allows Chinese mainland carriers to fly just one flight a week on one route to any country and foreign airlines to operate just one flight a week to China.
