The CAAC also extended the freeze on additional flights from Shanghai’s Hongqiao and Pudong airports by a month to March 31. It added both airfields met its requirements in January but not in December.
The regulator requires airports and airlines to meet its minimum on-time performance targets for two consecutive months before accepting additional flight applications.
Tianjin Binhai International Airport and Joy Air have been ‘clean’ for the past 60 days and are now allowed to apply for new flights and frequency increases. In the interim, HNA Aviation carriers, Air Guilin and Fuzhou Airlines, were added to the ‘restricted list’ this month, as was Colorful Guizhou Airlines.
More significantly, the CAAC ordered China Southern Airlines to terminate its CZ3947 Zhengzhou-Haikou route from April 1, citing consistent delays.
