Keep it open: China allows smartphone use on planes

If you have ever been on a plane in China, you must have heard the flight attendant asking passengers to switch off their phones.

That will not be the case any more, as the Chinese government loosened the requirements for using electronics on flights.

"Flight companies can now create their own regulations for the use of electronic devices," as publicized on the website of Civil Aviation Administration of China.

The website also put out a guideline for airlines to determine which kind of devices they should allow.

China Eastern Airlines became the first to respond. It said on Thursday morning that passengers can keep their beloved smartphones on during the flight.
