Chinese tourists won’t be coming back to New York City at their pre-pandemic levels next year. Affordability and limited flights are two issues holding back the rebound, say travel executives.
China and U.S. Discuss Further Increase of Flights Between the Two Countries
22.11.2023 - 17:33 / skift.com / Joe Biden / Xi Jinping
The head of China’s civil aviation regulator, Song Zhiyong, met with the U.S. Ambassador in Beijing Nicholas Burns, and exchanged views on pushing for a substantial increase in flights between the two countries, the regulator said on Wednesday.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) welcomes U.S. aviation-related enterprises to operate and develop in China, Song said.
Back in August, the United States and China said they would approve twice the number of passenger flights currently permitted for air carriers to fly between the two countries.
In his speech at a reception, Song said the two countries should continue the vision that President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden laid out in their recent meeting at APEC and create a new situation for China-U.S. civil aviation cooperation in the future.
Song and Burns expounded on those talks, saying they both want to strengthen cooperation in various fields of civil aviation between China and the U.S., according to a statement.
“CAAC welcomes American aviation-related enterprises to operate and develop in China and jointly create a better future for the global aviation industry,” Song said.
Both want China and the U.S. to further increase flights by a large margin, Song said, as relations between the two countries show signs of thawing after months of tensions over several global issues.

Biden Administration Announces New High-speed, Electric Train Connecting L.A. and Las Vegas
High-speed rail in the United States may soon be a reality. The White House recently announced the allocation of $8.2 billion in funding for several key rail projects including a Las Vegas to Los Angeles corridor; a Raleigh, North Carolina to Richmond, Virginia, route; new service throughout California’s central valley; and more. The investment is a component of President Joe Biden’s “Investing in America” Agenda. While high-speed rail has been a popular wish among travelers for many years, the allocation of funding helps put the project in motion, with one administration official sharing with Travel + Leisure that the Las Vegas to Los Angeles route could be completed in advance of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. “If you’ve ever seen the standard of passenger rail service in Japan, Germany, Spain, or Italy, and come home and wondered, 'Why can’t we have these nice things?’ This is the beginning of the answer to that. Help is on the way,” Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, told T+L during a press briefing on the announcement. Buttigieg said that the lack of investment in new rail services over the last several decades is a trend that is now being reversed and that while change won’t happen overnight, travelers will see improvements within a few years. Over 35 rail projects were named as part of the funding announcement, including:
