国内英语新闻:China probes deadly plane crash, orders industry-wide safety checks

Henan Airlines canceled all its flights Wednesday for safety reviews.

An official with Henan provincial aviation regulatory committee said the time to resume operations has not yet been settled.

The cancellation triggered complaints from air travelers in Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan.

"Our flight was expected to take off at 8:20 a.m..We were told the flight was canceled much later than that. And the airline gave no explanation," said Yang Ning, a college student, as she was anxiously waiting for air travel clearance.

Staff from Henan Airlines said all passengers whose flights were canceled could contact the airline's ticket office for flight rearrangement.

Previously known as Kunpeng Airlines, the carrier was relaunched as Henan Airlines earlier this year.

It flies smaller regional jets, mainly on routes in north and northeast China. The Harbin-Yichun route was launched only two weeks ago.
