Washington has accused Beijing of blocking American carriers from resuming flights to China, prompting US authorities to more heavily scrutinize Chinese airlines.
The tit-for-tat began last week after the US Department of Transportation claimed that regulators in Beijing were"making it impossible" for US carriers to fly between the two countries.United Airlines and Delta Air Lines want to restart US-China routes in early June and have submitted applications to the Civil Aviation Administration of China to do so, according to the US Department of Transportation.
The Chinese carriers — including Air China, China Eastern, China Southern and Hainan Airlines — must file the information by Wednesday.Beijing on Monday denounced the new restrictions. "China is opposed to any US measures that may disrupt or restrict Chinese carriers' normal commercial passenger flights," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said during a regular press briefing.
