Japanese airlines stop obeying China`s air zone rules
Criticism of China's ADIZ increases; Japanese airlines do a policy U-turn | The Japan Times
"After the Japanese government said private airlines don't have to follow Beijing's claims on Tuesday, our industry body held a meeting on Tuesday and decided we won't follow" Beijing's demands any more, a spokesman for former flag carrier Japan Airlines said.
"JAL has stopped submitting flight plans since 0000 am today (1500 GMT yesterday)," he said.
JAL's rival All Nippon Airways also said it has stopped complying.
"The Scheduled Airlines Association of Japan, an aviation industry body, made the decision after it received assurances from China, through the Japanese foreign ministry, that Beijing has no intention of obstructing the flights of commercial airline carriers," the JAL spokesman said.
