No limits on U.S.-China cargo flights
A new aviation agreement signed Monday between the United States and China will double the number of passenger flights between the two countries and allow for an unlimited number of cargo flights between the two countries.
In remarks during a signing ceremony in Seattle, U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said, “Our goal is to make it flying from Seattle to China as easy as flying to New York or Boston today.”
Peters said the agreement would generate as much as $5 billion in passenger and cargo revenue for the airline industry over the next six years — revenue that can be used to hire more crews, invest in new technology and buy more aircraft.
