Washington: The United States has suspended 26 passenger flights operated by Chinese carriers following Beijing's similar move taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, media reports said on Friday.

"We, therefore, conclude that the public interest now requires a further modification, effective immediately, of Order 2020-6-1, to limit Chinese carriers' scheduled services accordingly," the order issued by US Transportation Department as quoted by ANI.

"In the circumstances presented, we have decided to suspend twenty-six (26) US to China passenger flight segments," it added.

The Transportation Department said the Civil Aviation Authority of China suspended 26 flights of US carriers after a rising number of passengers arriving from the United States were testing positive for COVID-19.

The order suspends a combined 26 flights scheduled to depart Los Angeles International Airport throughout September for Air China Limited, Chinese Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines, and Xiamen Airlines, reports ANI.
