The Civil Aviation Administration of China has introduced a policy of no takeoff limits at major airports in an effort to deal with the serious problem of flight delays. It has said that, except in the case of bad weather or military exercises, flights from the country's eight major airports should not be delayed. Netizens, however, say the measure could cause "mid-air traffic jams" and compromise flight safety. Following are the views of China Daily's mobile news readers:

The new measure means more problems than benefits for passengers. Mid-air traffic jams will increase the fuel costs of airlines, prompting them to raise ticket prices. Besides, even after taking off on time, flights may have to "wait" in mid-air, which can be dangerous. The move may improve the on-time takeoff performance of airports, but it will not solve the overall problem of flight delays.
