While most U.S. airlines are cutting flights to historically low numbers because of the coronavirus pandemic, three mainland Chinese carriers plan to resume non-stop flights to San Francisco International Airport this month, a move SFO officials said “marks a hopeful change in direction.”

The resumption of flights is one of several early signs that the worst could be over in China, meaning the crisis will eventually come to an end here, too.

China Eastern will resume a daily non-stop flight this month between its hub in Shanghai and San Francisco using a Boeing 777-300ER jet. Flights are expected to start on Saturday, March 28

Strangely, flights were not yet available for booking at the time of this writing on the airline’s North America website.

The ban must be permanent. No more incoming weaponized chinamen.

Fill the planes going back with homeless people. Solves a couple of problems. They already spend 60K plus per homeless person so a plane ticker would save money even in the short term.
