- Chinese airlines are in overdrive now making sure they have new FAs and re-training their pilots so that they can start resuming international flights. As soon as that's all good and done, expect foreign airlines like UA to get more slots. I expect this happen by June.
I think in Q3 or Q4 we should see a full schedule, but unlikely to happen before Q3.
Sorry I am not as optimistic as you are.
Full schedule to China? Daily flights to PVG/PEK/HKG from EWR/ORD/SFO?
Won't happen in 2023, or 2024. I am thinking about 2025.....
