CHINA'S aviation regulator will suspend approvals of new flights and overlapping routes to four airports in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, the country's busiest hubs, for the coming winter-spring season due to limited landing slots and worsening flight delays.
Only flights that can help improve air network of the three cities will have chances to be approved, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said in a statement on its Website today.
The administration encouraged carriers to use larger aircraft to serve routes to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou instead of increasing frequencies.
The regulator will also suspend approvals of new flights to Shenzhen International Airport, except for China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines and Shenzhen Airlines that have bases in the airport because the airport is already overloaded with a new runway under construction.
The country's aviation industry is facing mounting pressure to improve punctuality amid a tight supply of landing slots and a surging demand for air travel.
