Air China Advisory

An Air China flight bound for Beijing made an unscheduled landing in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou on Sunday after a passenger threatened a flight attendant with a fountain pen, the country's civil aviation authority said.

Most Chinese don't regret and back Air China's 'advice' asking travellers to be cautious in areas populated by "Indians, Pakistanis and black people" when visiting London, the state media today said.

China's flag carrier Air China, which is at the centre of a racism controversy, today withdrew its in-flight magazine that advised London visitors to be cautious in areas populated by "Indians, Pakistanis and black people" with the publisher apologising for the "editing mistake".

Air China says it has removed copies of its in-flight magazine containing an article that told visitors to take precautions when visiting areas of London with large ethnic-minority populations.

It is generally a safe city, the Chinese state airline's inflight magazine tells its readers - "but precautions are needed entering areas mainly populated by Indians, Pakistanis and black people."
