China – ROK – Japan Flow Restrictions

Beijing

Traffic Flow restrictions imposed around 01Z~07Z daily, average “8 min interval for Beijing inbound regardless of altitude.”

There are 10~14 Beijing inbound from Japan during the timeframe, resulting departure delays of around 30min.

In summer, delay may increases up to “120 min interval regardless of altitude” reportedly due to bad WX around Beijing or military activities.

Such restrictions sometimes are imposed at short notice.
