BEIJING, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — China Southern Airlines announced it will resume passenger flights on the route between Urumqi in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Osh in Kyrgyzstan from October 9, the Xinjiang Daily newspaper reported.
Flights on the Urumqi-Osh-Urumqi route will operate three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. A one-way flight takes approximately two and a half hours.
Once these passenger flights resume, this route will become the only direct air route from Osh to China. This will increase the number of Kyrgyz cities with direct air links to China to two – Bishkek and Osh – further enhancing the convenience of trade, economic activity, and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
China Southern Airlines reported that in recent years, it has made active efforts to ensure uninterrupted air service between China and Kyrgyzstan. Since October of last year, Urumqi-Bishkek-Urumqi flights have served 49,000 passengers. The resumption of Urumqi-Osh-Urumqi flights is expected to further boost demand for cross-border travel between China and Kyrgyzstan.
