"US Airlines Urge Biden Administration to Halt More Flights to China"

US airlines, including American Airlines, Delta, and United, have urged the Biden administration to halt approval of additional flights to and from China, citing China's anti-competitive policies that disadvantage American carriers and workers. The industry lobby group Airlines for America and aviation worker unions expressed concerns about unequal access to the Chinese aviation market and the impact on US workers and businesses. This comes after the US allowed Chinese airlines to increase their direct passenger flights to the United States, while American carriers faced restrictions and challenges, including avoiding Russian airspace due to the conflict in Ukraine.
