US To Ban Chinese Airlines From 16th June 2020

US Block Chinese Airlines

Reported by Reuters, the Trump administration said that it is planning to block Chinese airlines from flying into, and out of, the United States starting on 16th June; after the Chinese government effectively prevented US airlines from resuming service between the countries.

The restrictions will take effect on 16th June. The order applies to Air China, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines and Capital Airlines.

Delta Air Lines and United Airlines have asked to resume flights to China this month, even as Chinese carriers have continued US flights during the pandemic.

Trump’s administration on 22nd May accused the Chinese government of making it impossible for US airlines to resume service to China, they then ordered four Chinese carriers to file flight schedules with the US government.

China’s “Five One” Flight Policy

China’s government launched its “Five One” policy at the end of March, in a bid to curb the COVID-19 crisis; allowing one airline to serve one country from one Chinese city to one foreign city, with no more than one flight a week.

However, many foreign airlines are anxious to see more international routes allowed into China. The “Five One” policy has caused a shortage in terms of capacity and travellers flying to China from overseas are facing very steep airfares, in the current COVID-19 climate.

  1. WELL……WELL…. !! Within 24 hours of us telling the Chinese we were gonna’ kick them out – they let us in. ……24 HOURS….is all it took for them to capitulate and allow Delta and UAL to start service.

    And this is HOW IT WORKS……Stand UP for ourselves and the world WILL be even handed – as the World needs the USA more than we need any ONE of them. And they know it – and our President knows it – and needs to continue to press home the EQUAL treatment part…..or lock them out. Period…

    ..hmmm….24 hours is all it took. They ain’t stupid……

  2. A little unrelated but saying this as a half European half Canadian I hope we impose very strict travel regulations on flights to and from the US, just like they did with us (EU) before, the same thing goes for Brazil.

    1. EXCELLENT idea, Marcel. You guys stay over there – and we guys will stay over here. And let’s get all this trade in goods and virus’s all straightened out, first.

      Then, and only then, when the EU drops ALL tariffs on USA goods, and we would then drop ALL of ours (which are minuscule, and reactive to yours) then we can open up our USA to your EU.

      Works for us!

  3. Will survive without this so called a bunch of chinese airlines anyway. I believe US Citizen will siding this one with Trump.

  4. This is just another “flip-flop” whim from The Donald Doofus in Chief. It varies from one day to the next… ie. nice guy, transparent… and then this. We need a consistent position and posture, focus, and plan. Very true, China is both an adversary, competitor, and at the same time…an ironic economic partner… Is this a short term or long term marriage?!? If lucid minds on both sides (are you listening President Xi (I know you understand English from your Burlington, Iowa days)–let’s get this crap fixed…post November.

    1. Tit for tat. Chinese airliners landing in USA and China refusing ours to land in China????? Are you NUTS???? I’d turn them around in mid-air.
      We will survive just FINE without them. I’m with Trump. No more taking advantage of us. Starting NOW! We can do without their cheap labor and theft. They will starve without our food. THAT will make the masses restless….just what Xi needs right now!

  5. Hi sam as im still a child it is hard for me to always travel as it has a large expense. I have always had a passion for aeroplanes and live spotting them
    I was wondering if you know of any airline checklist documents and things like this to review all of my flights
    Hope you see this thankyou.

  6. That’s doing the Chinese people a big favour as they will now have to choose a better airline rather than the cheapest.

  7. WHY WAIT until the 16th? Does China have their airplanes landing here, NOW? It ought to be IMMEDIATE and SIMULTANEOUS.
    This is E A S Y logic. Use it! Weakness begets more adverse events from one’s enemy.
    And the CCP IS, repeat, IS our enemy. If you don’t believe that, you must either be a member, or very close to it – OR – perhaps have your head where the sun never shines.
