WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration on Thursday proposed banning Chinese airlines from flying over Russia on flights to and from the United States, saying the practice puts American carriers at a disadvantage.

U.S. airlines have long criticized the decision to allow Chinese carriers to fly over Russia on some flights because it which gives them the advantage of decreased flying time and burning less fuel.

The U.S. Transportation Department said on Thursday in its proposed order "this imbalance has become a significant competitive factor." USDOT said it was proposing to bar Chinese overflights "to level this competitive disparity amongst U.S. and Chinese air carriers."

The Chinese embassy in Washington did not have an immediate comment.

2. Shoot down orders, most likely.

Passengers best pay attention to flying routes.

3. Trump will shoot down Chinese planes down like he sinks the fishing boats.

China might fight back.

4. Banning flights altogether is probably that answer to that question
