The three U.S. carriers currently operating scheduled passengers service in the U.S.-China market — American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), and United Airlines — will be approved to operate four weekly round-trip flights between the United States and the China, USDOT said. 

The order brings each country’s passenger flights to 12 total round trips effective immediately, but it is still a fraction of the total flights before the imposition of restrictions in early 2020 after the start of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
