After successfully reining in COVID-19, China has taken another bold step by announcing lowering restrictions on international flights. 

China has announced that from June 8 it has decided to lower restrictions on international flights, People’s Daily reported. 

A maximum of 64 international flights are expected to arrive in China after country lower the restriction, the paper reckoned. 

With the announcement of loosening restriction on international flights, the country has estimated 4,700 to 5,000 passengers to arrive in the country from around the world, the newspaper reported quoting China’s Civil Administration regulators. 

The announcement also brought a sigh of relief for a number of Pakistanis that after launch of many projects under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), there were hectic business activities and nationals from both sides were frequently travelling each other’s country. 

A number of business community members from Pakistani intended to visit China to meet their counterparts, but due to suspension of flights, they could not proceed there. After this announcement they hoped to fly China and resume their business activities soon. 

As elsewhere around the world, on spreading of deadly Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, all kind of flights had been suspended except the chartered flights carrying aid/assistance.
