@Jamie_Freed Chinese airlines can boost US flights to 50 per week, US says – but still only one-third of pre-pandemic levels.
@jonostrower On the UA overrun at IAH: Apparently there are two factors under early investigation: ATC asked flight to speed up after landing to clear the runway AND it had not been cleared of rubber deposits in some time, per two familiar people. Almost certainly unrelated to aircraft type.
