China to allow airlines back after retaliatory US ban

CHINA will ease a ban on flights to the country by foreign airlines on June 8, the aviation regulator said, a day after the U.S. issued an order to stop Chinese airlines from flying passengers to America.

Foreign airlines excluded from an earlier plan for inbound flights can operate one international commercial passenger flight to China every week starting Monday, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said Thursday. The announcement didn’t name any countries.
