The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said the conditions for cross-strait charter flights are harsh. Mainland Affairs Council: No application has been received.

The Mainland Affairs Council stated that after consulting with the Civil Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Transportation, no cross-strait charter flight applications have been received so far.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday approaches, spokesperson Zhu Fenglian of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China claimed today that the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have "extremely stringent conditions" for opening charter flight destinations, leaving the people and businesses "visible, intangible, and even less able to eat." She called on Taiwan to stop political manipulation. The Mainland Affairs Council responded that after consulting with the Civil Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Transportation, no cross-strait charter flight applications have been received so far.

The SEF recently stated that the heads of the Shandong and Shanxi work areas of China-Taiwan Enterprises Alliance and others proposed to the association that Jinan destinations should apply for charter flights and flight planning for next Spring Festival. Zhu Fenglian pointed out at a regular press conference of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council earlier that cross-strait direct air flights are an important air link that connects compatriots on both sides of the strait and facilitates economic, trade and cultural exchanges. It carries the urgent needs of people on both sides of the strait for exchanges.

Zhu Fenglian accused that the "DPP authorities" have always claimed that the so-called charter spots have been opened, but the application conditions are very harsh, and the people and businesses can't "see, touch, let alone eat."

Zhu Fenglian said that from January to August this year, 4.221 million passengers traveled between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait on direct air passenger flights, a year-on-year increase of 12.9%, which fully confirmed the strong demand in the cross-Strait direct flight market and the strong willingness of people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to communicate. We actively promote the comprehensive restoration of normalization of direct air flights across the Taiwan Strait. This attitude is consistent and clear.

Zhu Fenglian choked, hoping that the "DPP authorities" would stop political manipulation, respond to the public's calls, and fully resume the normalization of direct air passenger flights across the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible.

Regarding the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, are there any charter flights in China that have been applied for and approved? The Mainland Affairs Council stated that regarding cross-strait charter flight applications, you can apply to the Civil Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Transport for cross-strait passenger charter flights in accordance with the regulations and procedures of the "Execution Instructions for Specific Needs of Charter Flights to 13 Cross-Strait Passenger Destinations" published by the Civil Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Transport.
