China has gradually adjusted immigration management, outbound travel, international flights and other policies this year, significantly facilitating exit and entry trips.

The airports in Nanjing, Wuxi, Changzhou, Nantong and Yancheng have resumed 18 international routes. Data showed that the province's ports in March handled 1,065 inbound and outbound flights with 118,000 passengers, up 28 times year-on-year and 50% higher than the figure in February.

The number of outbound trips for tourism reached 39,000, an increase of 75.8% than in February.

Besides, the province's airport border checkpoints have taken a variety of measures to improve the efficiency of customs clearance, ensuring the procedure for Chinese citizens does not exceed 30 minutes.
