China Southern Airlines to resume flights to Moscow
URUMQI, March 31 (Xinhua) -- China Southern Airlines will resume its flights to Moscow as of April 10 in an effort to boost Asian- European air traffic service.
The airlines' branch in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Northwest China announced Friday that Boeing 737 passenger planes will fly from Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang, to Moscow every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
The return flights will be on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The flights suspended in 2003 amid the Asian financial crisis and affected by the epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) that hit China.
An official with the airlines' Xinjiang branch said the route to Moscow is the best choice for the trip from Europe to East Asia and even Southeast Asia, foreseeing great potentiality in the Sino- Russian air flight market after the expected launch of some favorable tourism policies by the governments of the two neighbors.
