Starting June 2020, the number of permitted flights in China will nearly triple to 407 per week.
Authorities currently allow domestic and foreign airlines to maintain only one weekly route either to or from China.
That is still just a fraction of the roughly 9,000 flights a week handled by the country's airports before the pandemic. Some said they had been asked by airlines to pay as much as 30,000 yuan for the few seats available.Many of the Chinese nationals waiting to return home are among China's population of 1.6 million students studying abroad.
Dozens of people were arrested in Nepal earlier this month after a protest in Kathmandu by stranded Chinese nationals turned violent.
