Shenzhen, March 31 (Xinhua) — A direct passenger flight from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport in southern China's Guangdong Province to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, was launched on Monday, marking the first nonstop passenger service from the metropolis to Central Asia.
The airport administration said the route, operated by Uzbekistan Airways, is its first new international route launched this year.
The flight will operate once a week on Mondays: the plane will depart Tashkent at 1:20 local time and arrive in Shenzhen at 7:40 Beijing time, and the return flight will depart Shenzhen at 9:10 Beijing time and arrive in Tashkent at 16:20 local time.
The launch of the new direct air link aims to deepen cooperation between China and Uzbekistan within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as to foster closer exchanges in trade, investment, energy, infrastructure, and people-to-people exchanges.
Airport officials said the route would facilitate cross-border travel and business connections, and provide Shenzhen firms with more direct access to the Central Asian market.
With the launch of this flight, Bao'an Airport is now connected by air with 42 cities in 23 Belt and Road countries. -0-
