BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) — An Airbus A320 passenger plane took off from Laining International Airport in Kashgar Prefecture of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Sunday for Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, marking the successful launch of a trial flight on the route, Xinjiang Daily reported, citing a source in Kashgar Customs.
This is also the first international passenger air route opened this year at this airport, the local customs service added.
The above flight was operated by a Kyrgyzstan airline. After the successful test flight, round trip flights on the new route are expected to be operated once a week. Meanwhile, the number of flights may be increased according to actual needs.
According to local customs officials, the opening of this air route not only facilitates bilateral people-to-people exchanges, but also brings new opportunities for cooperation in trade, economics, culture and tourism to both sides. -0-
