Airlines told to clean up web errors

US carrier Delta apologizes for listing Chinese territories as 'countries'

Foreign airlines and hotels have been told to review their websites and apps to ensure no Chinese territories are incorrectly labeled as countries, after errors by several major international companies were exposed.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China made the demand to airlines after Delta, the United States-based carrier, was found to have listed Tibet and Taiwan as countries in a drop-down menu in an online comments section.
