U.S. Action Bars Two Air Carriers: Air China and China Eastern will be barred from the all-cargo market between the United States and China because they thwarted a U.S. carrier’s right to operate air cargo service to China, according to a ruling last week by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The DOT was responding to a June 1 complaint from Evergreen International Airlines. Evergreen said the Chinese carriers threatened its customers with retaliation if they continued doing business with Evergreen.
