Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian, however, says he was not aware of this report.
The report states that the State Council, which oversees China’s bureaucracy, had recently asked government agencies and civil aviation regulators to prepare for ending a circuit-breaker mechanism.
Airlines earlier faced a ban if their flights got in Covid-infected people into China. A similar mechanism for Hong Kong was suspended in July.
The report comes on the heels of the development on Wednesday that where Chinese policymakers pledged to prioritise growth and press on with reforms to help further boost stock markets buoyed by hopes that Beijing will ease some of its strict Covid measures.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) did not immediately respond to a media request for comment.
Meanwhile, China’s Covid policies are consistent and clear, Zhao told reporters at a daily briefing in Beijing.
