The US government is proposing to restrict Chinese airlines from flying over Russian territory on routes to America. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Officials believe this situation creates an unfair competitive environment for American airlines. This proposal applies only to passenger planes and does not ban cargo flights.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this decision could negatively affect people-to-people connections. Currently, Chinese airlines are increasing their market share on American routes by flying over Russian territory.
This restriction proposed by the US aims to level the competition. The ministry has given Chinese companies two days to provide their feedback.
The final decision may come into effect in November. These changes are expected to establish new regulations in the aviation sector.
