▼ + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( Rachel Liang | Dan Strumpf | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

International flights are likely to rebound slowly after China lifted its Covid-19 border restrictions, with industry experts suggesting it would take months for a strong recovery and even longer to return to prepandemic levels. Governments have tightened entry requirements for passengers coming from China due to a large Covid-19 outbreak there, and Beijing has responded with travel restrictions of its own on some of those countries. Aviation regulators are still negotiating bilaterally with their Chinese counterparts on increasing flights. Plane ticket prices remain high, while airlines must also reroute their jets to fly again to China.
