American AirlinesDelta Air Lines and United Airlines are suspending operations due to the impact of Covid-19.
Starting August 7, Chinese authorities have changed their policy of canceling flights if the number of passengers who test positive for Covid-19 reaches four percent of the total number of passengers on a China-bound flight and two flights, the US Department of Transportation said. If the number is eight percent. The US government has repeatedly protested against the Chinese government.
