There is to be a relaxing of restrictions on using smartphones on aircraft, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has said, with the new policy allowing individual airlines to develop their own policies on the matter. It remains to be seen when these new policies will come into effect – airlines’ own standards regarding passengers’ use of portable electronic devices (PEDs) will go through an approval process developed by the CAAC. The CAAC said in its statement that it had approved an amendment to regulations governing use of mobile phones by passengers and crew members at airports across China.
