KYODO NEWS - 3 hours ago - 12:22 | OthersThe Japanese and Chinese governments are looking to increase the number of flights linking Shanghai and Japanese cities to alleviate congestion and improve security, Japanese government and other sources said Monday.
The two states' aviation authorities also agreed to eliminate restrictions on the number of flights to and from Beijing and Shanghai at Japanese regional airports.
There were only about 10 flights per day linking Shanghai and Japan using the path in 1983, but that has risen into the hundreds.
The number of increased flights and specific flight paths will be determined in the future by the Japanese and Chinese aviation authorities, the sources said.
The number of flights between Japan and China reached a record 1,130 for the winter table starting Oct. 27, an increase of 230 flights from the summer schedule that began in March.
