United Airlines UAL wants to make a strong return to China in June and will “pencil in” a relaunch of passenger service with four flights to three cities – Beijing, Chengdu, and Shanghai.
Japan is also seeing growth as United plans to resume three weekly Newark-Tokyo Narita flights.
In contrast to Asia’s growth, United is further reducing many European flights this summer, but will add three weekly San Francisco-Frankfurt flights on June 4 and three weekly Newark-Paris services on June 5.
“We will also pencil in four China routes in the June schedule,” United said in an employee memo. “We continue to workout the feasibility of restarting passenger service to China.”

China has implemented the so-called “Five One” rule for international passenger flights. That limits one airline to serving one country from one Chinese city to one foreign city with no more than one flight a week.
That would allow United to fly to mainland China once a week on only one route. Instead, United wants to fly four routes, three from San Francisco to Beijing Capital, Chengdu and Shanghai Pudong, and a fourth from Newark to Shanghai.

Boeing May Remain Its Best Hope. United has not detailed if passenger flights would be non-stop or transit in another country first.
Pilots have been frustrated with China’s arrival and quarantine procedures for crew, which can change and vary by city. United and American are routing cargo-only flights via Tokyo, allowing a different crew to fly from Tokyo to China and back without a layover in China. But passengers prefer travelling non-stop.
The “Five One” restriction was implemented in March as China saw a surge of imported cases – Chinese nationals returning from abroad with coronavirus. The rule let China concentrate resources and better screen incoming passengers.
Cargo-only flights, including those on passenger jets without customers, are exempt from the rule. United’s 220 weekly cargo-only flights include 39 to mainland China via a stopover in Tokyo. Another 17 weekly flights are non-stop to Hong Kong.
China and South Korea plan for a gradual resumption of business travel. There are strong ties, especially for manufacturing, between the two countries.
Manufacturing resumption has held at around 70-80%, according to Trivium, and China is eager to further boost recovery. Business travel from the U.S. would also be important.
United’s largest corporate customer is Apple AAPL, which spent $35 million a year just on the San Francisco-Shanghai route, buying 50 business class seats a day, according to internal United marketing material that was made public.
“Production was back at typical levels toward the end of March,” Apple CEO Tim Cook told investors this week. There was some weakness, CFO Luca Maestri conceded, saying that at the end of March Apple was in a “good supply position for most of our product lines.”
“We have been gratified by the resilience and adaptability of our global supply chain,” Cook said.

没说。紫薯自述
travel ban 6月解除了吗？
是中国人要回中国
见不得华人在海外安居乐业；挑拨华人与当地的关系；把华人当枪使，与海外势力做斗争。
中国先没有良心的啊，外国人没有父母长辈，让病毒跑到全世界，就中国人才有长辈吗？
🛋️ 沙发板凳
酒店隔离 14 天太可怕了吧!!
哎
是28天，落地14天，回到本地再14天
希望夏天可以跑一趟，可是如果还要隔离14天，就只能算了
我看朋友圈发的照片 本地的14天是居家隔离 不是强制的
同希望，可这事恐怕不是航空公司说了算的
我怕输入病例不可控，当然得激动！
你不怕死我怕死行了吧
一个40岁以下死亡率千分之一的病，能把你吓成这样，真怂。
所以你这是承认自己翻墙了？
你不怂你带头去实现群体免疫啊！
你没有父母长辈？，没有你父老乡亲家也应该有。
说话请带着良心！
好像各个地方政策不一样，我们那儿是集中隔离。。。
那也行啊，现在这些航空公司一个也没有
那又如何？我从来ID就带CN。
从来自认五毛，有问题吗？
你承认你独运轮不？
你可以去跟中国政府反对，哈哈，如果政府搭理你的话，小心被抓哦
我就是好奇，你们成天翻墙来恶心北美华人图啥？采访一下，这是啥心理？
再加上那个王秋梦。
和狗为什么要每天出去遛一个道理
华人可以回家，为什么不能激动，激动管你啥事？回不去不用酸溜溜的。
同关心这个。这是最重要的，起码要放开中国公民的未成年外籍子女。这是最基本的人性。
北美华人多了，我认识的都比这个版上活跃的独运轮多多了。
你哪儿来的自信让独运轮和意识形态偏执狂代表他们？只是这些人比他们活跃罢了。
没啥特别的理由，有闲，有不同于你们的观点和立场，不想让你们整天搞些乌烟瘴气的东西污蔑中国。
也跟真正关心国内的华人分享一些国内的情况我自己的观点
那你去跟你认识的海外华人唠叨呗。大家各自安好不行吗？海外华人想了解国内情况，跟自己朋友亲戚聊就行了，去国内论坛看看也不用翻墙，真不用麻烦你们天天翻墙过来。
海外华人不想被独轮运代表，但更不想被战狼无毛代表。
真的是，搞了一堆有权有势的小留回去，留了一堆为CCP衷心一辈子的老人卡在美国回不去，傻逼才做得出的事情。
幸好你被禁了。还喊别人说话带良心，自己不照照镜子？
被滞留海外要回国的是公民，拿中国护照的。听过拦其他国家难民的，拦偷渡客的，没有任何国家拦自己公民的，除了厉害锅，少扯什么抗疫压力大，人新加坡巴掌大点的地方，那么早对外关闭国门，3月份还全球撤侨。厉害政府不要脸，洗脑洗出一批只顾自己不管他人的脑残，真是世界奇观。
我看到的有从纽约和三藩起飞的
当初跳着脚喊要断航， 现在是不是老人成了负担了， 急吼吼的想送回去。
Good point!
社区24/7派人盯着你家门呢，还不是强制的？
你这是人在国内？还是国内没有家人？这想法也太奇葩了吧
是的，全自费
他们闲的，自己家门口都没整明白呢
别理那些喷子，你越理他们，他们越来劲
可以分享一下行程吗？
通过这次疫情我是真心希望中共倒台。如果现在美国攻打中共，我肯定捐款。
它还真有脸去反对，反对的方法多半是微博上某个骂美国的帖子下面跟两句罢了。当初美国断航中国，国内一顿带节奏乱吠“断航就是歧视”，现在自干五倒好意思跑来这里的论坛谈“反对”？！我看他们就是从那时反对美国断航开始，就是在蓄意放毒为制造pandemic打伏笔
是united? 我看到的都是要在东京转机呀
早着呢，别想了
LA不是美联航的base
你防疫不能建立在侵犯别人正常权益的基础上的，否则这种拆东墙补西墙式的防疫有什么意义？
你这么歧视在海外的中国人？都不让中国人回家吗？
中国先没有良心的啊，外国人没有父母长辈，让病毒跑到全世界，就中国人才有长辈吗？
见不得华人在海外安居乐业；挑拨华人与当地的关系；把华人当枪使，与海外势力做斗争。
是中国人要回中国
