These divisions are required to apply to the Civil Aviation Authority in advance to resume flights, pending approval.

According to the 《21st Century Economic Report》, the Civil Aviation Authority notice requires regional civil aviation authorities and airlines to apply for advance flight plans for international flights one or two months in advance.
The content of the notice indicates that the "five on one" policy will continue to be implemented until at least October. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) requires the Department of Aviation to continue to arrange flights in accordance with the "Five Ones" policy and to apply in advance to the CAA Operations Control Centre for advance flight plans.
But will the policy necessarily continue into October? The Civil Aviation Authority says it will give advance notice and make adjustments to the approval process if there is a change in policy.
