American airlines have been cleared to resume a limited schedule of flights to China after an agreement between the two countries to defuse what was shaping up to be a tense travel standoff.

The three largest U.S. airlines — American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines — were all flying to China before the coronavirus pandemic, but demand dropped off sharply as the outbreak took hold and they eventually suspended their flights in February when the U.S. government imposed travel restrictions.

The Transportation Department on Monday announced it was authorizing — with immediate effect — Chinese airlines to fly four round-trip flights each week between the United States and China. The agency said its decision was spurred by China agreeing to do the same for U.S. airlines. Before the pandemic, airlines from both countries operated about 300 round-trip U.S.-China flights each week.

Great timing, right as they have another outbreak, and the U.S. not doing any better.
