The U.S. Department of Transportation on Tuesday issued an order allowing the four Chinese airlines currently performing scheduled passenger services to the United States to increase their services to eight weekly round-trip flights.
United and Delta are now eligible to double their flights to China from twice a week to four times a week, wrote the department.

According to China's aviation regulator, 19 Chinese and 74 foreign airlines operated 210 weekly return frequencies on 187 regular international passenger routes to and from China, as of August 12. China has regular passenger services with 50 countries.

China has resumed regular passenger services with 20 countries which were suspended due to the pandemic.
