Airlines offer variations of such deals, including Spring Airlines’ package for children traveling with their parents and China Eastern’s unlimited weekend flights.Some carriers have chosen to join hands, with Qingdao Airlines, Okay Airways and Ruili Airlines collaborating for unlimited weekend deals as well.

China’s economy has been recovering gradually since the coronavirus outbreak, and last Friday, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said daily flights had returned to about 80 percent of pre-virus levels.
The country’s aviation industry lost 34.25 billion yuan in the second quarter this year, the CAAC said this month, after Beijing took drastic moves to curb the spread of the coronavirus that first surfaced in the central Wuhan city.As the virus began its global march, governments around the world had started limiting travel from high-risk countries, with China going a step further in March to dramatically cut flight routes and bar most foreigners from returning.
