‘Don’t Visit Indian Areas’: Air China Withdraws Racist Magazine

The advisory also states that women should “be accompanied by another person while travelling”.

China’s flag carrier Air China was forced to withdraw its in-flight magazine that advised London visitors to be cautious in areas populated by “Indians, Pakistanis and black people”, after the government asked the airline to conduct a probe into the episode.

Shortly after the airline found itself in the centre of a racism controversy, the publisher of Wings of China apologised for the “editing mistake”.

After discovering this problem, Air China immediately removed this magazine from all flights and demanded that the publishers of ‘Wings of China’ seriously learn from this lesson, strengthen their content review and avoid making similar mistakes.
