BEIJING, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) — Air China flight CA779 took off from Jiangbei International Airport in southwest China's Chongqing City on Wednesday afternoon bound for Tashkent, marking the official opening of the route linking Chongqing with the capital of Uzbekistan, the Zhongxinwang news website reported.
Flight CA779 from Chongqing to Tashkent will operate on Wednesdays and Fridays, while the return flight CA780 will operate on Thursdays and Saturdays. Along the route, the aircraft will make a short stopover in Urumqi (the capital of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwest China).
The opening of this air route, the first between Chongqing and Uzbekistan, not only established an air bridge connecting southwest China with the hinterland of Central Asia but also gave new impetus to deeper cooperation between China and Uzbekistan in trade, economic, cultural, tourism, industrial, and other areas. With the mutual introduction of a visa-free regime, humanitarian, trade, and economic exchanges between the two countries have become even closer, with Tashkent and Samarkand becoming popular destinations for Chinese tourists. Furthermore, the new air route will facilitate the accelerated entry of high-quality Chinese products into the Central Asian market.
Since the beginning of this year, Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport has opened or resumed international passenger flights to cities including Brussels, Auckland, Moscow, Tokyo, and Yangon. Currently, the airport serves 38 international and regional passenger routes, with approximately 200 weekly flights, and has built a network spanning North America, Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Southeast Asia.
