Air companies from Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia, say they will comply with China’s new rules, agreeing to submit their flight plans before flying across China’s Air Defense Identification Zone over the East China Sea.
An official from Vietnam Airlines says China’s ADIZ lies on its flightpath to Japan. He also says it is usual to send flight plans to relevant countries when flying across their air defense zones. Thai Airways International has 76 flights to Japan every week.
And from the beginning of this month, the company has sent its flight plans to China. The company says this is conducive to flight safety, and in accordance with common practices.
Since China set up its air defence identification zone last month. Five countries including the US, and South Korea, have already said they will comply with the new rules.
