South Korean Airlines plans to ramp China capacity as restrictions lift

South Korean Airlines are planning to expand flights to Chinese mainland this month onwards with the two countries agreeing to increase flights on their routes. Local airlines plan to initially increase the number of flights on routes to Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao and Yanji from March 2023 end. The move comes as South Korea lifted a PCR test requirement from March 1, 2023 for travelers from China after their arrival in South Korea. Korean Air is planning to increase the number of its weekly flights on Chinese routes from the current 13 to 84 at the end of this month and
