The civil aviation regulator of China on Friday announced a one-week suspension for Air China flight CA910 from Moscow to Beijing, effective from July 13.
It is the fourth suspension after China launched
its "circuit breaker" policy for airlines carrying passengers infected
with COVID-19.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC)
said it will suspend Air China flight CA910, its first entrance point
being Shenyang, Northwest China's Liaoning Province, after more than
five passengers on that flight tested positive for COVID-19 on July 4.
Russia
registered 6,509 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours, taking its
total number of cases to 707,301, the country's coronavirus response
center said in a statement on Thursday, according to Xinhua News Agency.
Four
days ago, on Monday, the CAAC suspended the US-Bangla Airlines flight
from Dhaka in Bangladesh to Guangzhou, South China's Guangdong Province,
for one week.
It was the first penalty for an international
airline after the CAAC announced a "punishment and reward" system for
inbound flights on June 4 in a bid to prevent imported cases.
The
first suspension order was on June 14, as the CAAC announced it would
suspend China Southern Airlines flight CZ392 from Dhaka, Bangladesh, to
Guangzhou, for a total of four weeks after 17 passengers tested positive
for COVID-19.
On July 1, CAAC suspended Sichuan Airlines flight
3U8392 from Cairo in Egypt, to Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan
Province, for one week, starting on July 6 after six passengers tested
positive for COVID-19 on June 27.
