Learn lessons so flights can arrive on time

ONLY AROUND 68 percent of scheduled flights in the Chinese mainland arrived on time last year, which was 4 percent less than in 2013, said Li Jun, director of China Air Transport Association at a panel discussion of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beijing on Sunday. Apart from changeable factors such as the weather, the poor management of the country's airspace is to blame for the increasing delays, Li added. Comments:

I myself have encountered flight delays. Methods were adopted last year to improve flight services with higher-level performance at air management, airlines and airports.
