China plans to allow airlines to gradually increase international flights after health authorities eased quarantine requirement for overseas travelers last month, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said Tuesday.

Regular international passenger flights will be resumed in a steady and orderly manner in accordance with the state of the pandemic, the optimization of recent prevention and control measures, and the improvement of local governments’ ability to provide support to international flights, the CAAC said at a press conference.
