Beijing--China's aviation regulator said it has ordered China Southern Airlines Co and other carriers based in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing to drop flights to six major Chinese cities to ease overcapacity. China's biggest carrier, along with Guangzhou-based China Eastern Airlines Corp, Beijing-based Air China, and Shanghai Airlines Co, must halt services to Shenyang, Urumqi, Xian, Chengdu, Kunming, and Wuhan from 31 October.

"The aim is to reduce overlapping of routes," said Ma Songwei, a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
