Does this mean the new flights from both sides will avoid Russian airspace? Is it 24 total flights or 48 total flights between USA-China?
48 total. US flights will avoid Russian airspace, decent chance that the new Chinese ones will as well

claims that it'll be SFO-PVG and SFO-PEK each once daily, taking up 14 out of 24 US frequencies
