Officials from China and the US are accelerating plans to boost flight capacity between the two countries.
Aviation officials from both countries are working to increase scheduled US-China flights.
There were tentative agreements struck last week during Xi Jinping’s visit to the US.
This has been followed up with a meeting at the US embassy in Beijing with Civil Aviation Administration of China chief Song Zhiyong and ambassador Nicholas Burns.
Over 100 aviation officials were present from China and the US including representatives from Boeing.
It was part of the China-US Aviation Cooperation Program.
Capacity on US-China routes still remain well below pre-pandemic levels due mostly to China’s stringent Covid-era restrictions.
