More than 1,900 flights from China to Japan scheduled for this month have now been cancelled, according to state media reports and travel experts, as a political dispute between the two nations over Taiwan grinds on.
The figure represented more than 40 per cent of the flights from mainland China to Japan scheduled for December, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV reported on Monday, citing data from online platforms.
Li Hanming, an independent civil aviation analyst, said his research indicated that CCTV’s report was broadly accurate, adding that cancellations of flights to Japan also effectively stopped return flights, as airlines tended to schedule routes in pairs.
