2020-05-21 | Beijing

Time for resuming the flights and frequency: The meeting is willing to explore whether airlines could start the application procedure as soon as possible, ideally in June and July.On the frequency, the reciprocal treatment shall be adopted. CAAC still loose the tight restriction of the Five One measure to restrict the Foreign airlines (one country, one flight, per week).

Healthy and safety measures: EU and CAAC separately released the guidelines for the management of the passengers and aviation personnel on the sanitary and safety requirement. The meeting is willing to explore whether the authority can make the mutual recognition for the measures taken to avoid the unnecessary duplicated procedures.

Further negotiation with CAAC: the meeting would like to suggest that CAAC should recover the bilateral aviation agreement with member states, cancel FIVE ONE restrictive measure and reopen the international passengers’ flights to the foreign airlines.The rules and measures related to aviation areas made by CAAC and other administration shall be appropriate and proportionate to avoid the barriers set for the airline for the access to the market.
