The United States will suspend 26 China-bound flights in September in response to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) decision to suspend some U.S. carrier flights because of COVID-19 restrictions.

The decision will affect flights to China from Los Angeles and New York by Chinese carriers Xiamen Airlines, Air China, China Southern Airlines, and China Eastern Airlines.
