Flights between the US and China are set to double from current levels by the end of October as the countries relax travel restrictions put in place during the pandemic.

Each country will gain an additional six weekly round-trip flights as of Sept. 1, up from the current 12, according to a US Transportation Department order Friday. The total will rise to 24 flights for each nation as of Oct. 29, split between the three largest US carriers and six Chinese airlines.
