Covid row: Biden suspends 44 flights to China in tit-for-tat
23.01.2022
The US government suspended 44 scheduled Chinese airline flights from the US to China in response to restrictions placed on American carriers over Covid testing protocols. The US department of transportation on Friday issued restrictions against four Chinese airlines in a dispute that has been percolating since the pandemic erupted in 2020. China in recent months had suspended flights on Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and United Airlines. citing an effort to block Covid transmission, something US authorities say is a violation of a treaty on flight access. The action by the US government is the latest sign of tensions between the two nations over issues ranging from trade policy to alleged spying.
