BEIJING: China's aviation regulator will limit Air France's Paris-to-Tianjin flight to a load factor of 40per cent for four weeks from June 7, it said on Friday, after COVID-19 infections were found among passengers.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China had already placed identical curbs on the airline's other China flight, from Paris to Shanghai.
