The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council (Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council)-- the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference today, and spokesperson Zhu Fenglian answered questions raised by reporters on recent hot issues between the two sides of the strait. A reporter asked: it is reported that the head of the North Asia region of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said a few days ago that the civil aviation industry expects the two sides of the strait to resume tourism exchanges as soon as possible, and only when they resume can there be exchanges, especially in the economic and trade fields. Do you have any comment on this? In this regard, Zhu Fenglian said: we strongly support the aviation industry on both sides of the strait to substantially increase the number of flights between the two sides of the strait, so that airlines can dynamically optimize flight arrangements on their own. On February 1 this year, the mainland aviation authorities urged Taiwan to give priority to restoring 16 direct flights between the two sides of the strait, including Guangzhou, through the contact channels agreed between the two associations. On March 9, Taiwan's civil aviation authorities said that priority would be given to the resumption of 10 scheduled passenger flight destinations, including Guangzhou. In this regard, Taiwan compatriots and Taiwan businessmen are eagerly looking forward to it, and aviation operators on both sides of the strait have also actively applied for the resumption of flights.
