To better contain the spread of the novel coronavirus and as schools have delayed their opening of new terms to varying degrees, CAAC has recently required that to facilitate the cancelling or rescheduling of flights by student travelers, airlines and their sales agents shall not charge any fee from student travelers who booked tickets no later than 24:00 of February 10 for flights that will depart before 24:00 of March 31 for requesting a refund or changing to other flights that will depart before 24:00 of March 31. Students should present their student ID cards for ticket refunds or changes.

CAAC stated that further notice will be issued if the time period for ticket refunds and changes is to be extended in light of the development in disease prevention and control.
