Foreign media reports U.S. Transportation Department plans to limit Chinese flights over Russian airspace, with China Airlines and others strongly opposing.

Foreign media: The U.S. Department of Transportation plans to ban Chinese flights from passing through Russian airspace when flying to the United States, and China's major airlines have formally opposed or requested reconsideration of the proposal.

China International Airlines expressed its opposition, stating that this restriction would make travel more inconvenient for passengers, and it is expected that at least 4,400 passengers will be affected between November and December 2025, especially during major holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, which would have a significant impact on passenger rights and public interest.

China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, and Sichuan Airlines also submitted formal response documents.
