Shinzo Abe: U.S. gov't did not ask airlines to give flight notice to China. -Senkaku/Diaoyu issue

KAMAISHI, Japan, Dec. 1, Kyodo

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Sunday the United States has told Japan that it did not advise American airlines to comply with Chinese demands for prior notice before their aircraft enter Beijing's new air defense identification zone over the East China Sea.

"We have confirmed through diplomatic channels that the U.S. government didn't request commercial carriers to submit flight plans," he said during an inspection tour of Kamaishi, Iwate Prefecture.


The prime minister made the comments following a U.S. State Department document issued Friday saying the government "generally expects that U.S. carriers operating internationally will operate consistent with" notification policies issued by foreign countries.

  2. Suga: No change to airlines' notification policy when flying in China zone....

    TOKYO —

    Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said on Monday there was no change to Japan’s policy of not notifying Chinese authorities when its commercial aircraft fly through China’s new air defense identification zone.

    Asked if the government planned to alter its earlier request to domestic air carriers that they not notify China of their flight plans, Suga said, “Our stance won’t be changed.”

    Japan’s top air carriers, Japan Airlines and ANA, earlier told Reuters they have made no change to their plans of not notifying China of their flight plans for aircraft flying through the zone.
