Notice on remind of passengers taking flights from Canada to China to pay attention to the latest requirements

Dear Passengers:

According to the latest announcement issued by the Chinese Embassy in Canada. Starting from January 14, 2022, All passengers who are to fly from Canada to China directly will be required to take an additional nucleic acid test 7 days before boarding. All passengers are required to self isolate except for taking the second nucleic acid test and IgM anti-body test within 2 days before boarding, and necessary transit flight after the first additional test. All passengers are also required to monitor 7 days personal health status after the first additional test. All test certificates and personal health monitoring form shall be uploaded while applying for a QR code with "HDC" mark to the Chinese Embassy or Consulate General in Canada.

Air China will check the green health code with the "HDC" logo issued by the Chinese embassy and consulate in Canada, as well as all the test certificates (nucleic acid test certificate, IgM Antibody test certificate, and self-health status monitoring form) paper copies and keep them before going through the check in formalities for passengers.

Since Canadian airports can not provide testing, passengers from outside Canada are advised to avoid connecting flights to China in Canada as much as possible. Canada is still implementing entry restrictions, and there are risks of overstay and repatriation due to transit.

If you need to take a flight from Canada to China, please check the latest requirements issued by the Chinese Embassy in Canada as soon as possible, and arrange your travel plan reasonably as not to affect your itinerary.
