BEIJING, December 3 (Xinhua) — Chinese airline Air China will launch a direct flight in December connecting Chengdu, the capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province, with Almaty, Kazakhstan, the Chengdu Daily newspaper reported.
According to the schedule, passenger flights on this route will be operated twice a week by an Airbus A320neo aircraft: on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The flight from Chengdu to Almaty will take 3.5 hours, saving at least seven hours compared to a connecting flight, while the return flight will take five hours.
According to the report, the opening of direct air service between the two cities will make full use of the advantages of air travel, such as high efficiency and convenience, and will also contribute to further strengthening trade and economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges between southwest China and Central Asian countries.
In recent years, economic and trade cooperation between Sichuan Province and Kazakhstan has become increasingly close. Vehicles, air conditioners, and other goods exported from the province are popular among residents of Kazakhstan, while ferrochrome, zinc concentrate, barley, and other goods from Kazakhstan also enter the Chinese market via Sichuan.
