According to reports reaching OYOGist.com, the United States has issued an order suspending Chinese passenger planes from flying to America from 16th of June, 2020.
According to reports, the Department of Transportation said the ban was a response to the “failure” of China to “permit U.S. carriers to exercise the full extent of their bilateral right to conduct scheduled passenger air services to China and from China.
America complained that China didn’t allowed its carriers to resume flights to the country after they put all flights to the country on hold due to COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Joel Szabat who is the Transportation Department’s top aviation official was one of those who signed the formal order.
