The Civil Aviation Administration of China recently announced the June flight schedules of several airlines. Some airlines have also increased flights from Canada to China. This is undoubtedly good news for Chinese people who plan to return to China.
In addition, with the orderly resumption of work and production in Shanghai, the relevant air ticket companies have received approval for the application for an international airline entry guarantee letter in June. According to multiple channels (Finn Air customer service, North American Ticket Emperor Weibo, United Airlines UA kicking data, etc.), html international flights entering Shanghai in 16 will receive passengers at a 60% occupancy rate, which is 60% higher than in 4 -The 40% attendance rate in May was much better.
If the occupancy rate is 60%, the passenger capacity of the following North American flights will be adjusted to:
United Airlines UA857 model B777-300ER, capacity 350 people
According to the 60% occupancy rate, the entire aircraft is allowed to carry: 210 passengers
Delta DL287 Model A330-900, capacity 281 people
Based on 60% occupancy rate, the entire aircraft is allowed to carry: 169 people/184 people
Since DL287 is applied for according to A359 (306 people), 184 people may be allowed
Delta DL283 Model A350-900, capacity 306 people
Based on 60% occupancy, the entire aircraft is allowed to carry: 184 people
American Airlines AA127 model B787-9, Capacity: 285 people

Air Canada AC27 (Toronto-Shanghai)Model B787-9, Capacity: 298 people
Based on 60% occupancy rate, the entire aircraft is allowed to carry: 
79 people/240 people
Since AC27 applied according to B777-300ER (400 people), 240 people may be allowed.
Air Canada has been criticized before for its 40% occupancy problem. Many passengers were even "kicked off" until just before boarding, and their itineraries were ruined, which was frustrating. But starting in June, Air Canada will switch to the 787-9 model, but it will still apply for a passenger load factor of 60% (240 people) of the B777-300ER. Therefore, there should be no more kicks by then.
