SANYA, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) — Three international flights were launched from Oct. 8 to 11 linking the southern Chinese city of Sanya with Minsk, Ulaanbaatar, Ulan-Ude and Kuala Lumpur, marking a significant expansion of the city's international air route network.

Flights from Sanya to Kuala Lumpur and back, operated by Malaysian airline Batik Air, operate twice weekly: on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They offer travelers from Southeast Asia a more convenient option for traveling to and visiting the island province of Hainan in southern China.

Mongolian airline Hunnu Air launched flights between Ulaanbaatar and Sanya, and Ulan-Ude. Belarusian airline Belavia launched a Sanya-Minsk route, becoming the first direct air route between Sanya and Belarus.

Currently, 38 international air routes connect Sanya with cities in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia and Europe.

New routes are expected to open soon, including the Sanya-Cheongju route.

Currently, citizens of 86 countries can visit Hainan Province visa-free with standard passports. The combination of visa-free travel and direct flights has significantly increased the influx of inbound travelers to the island.

Taking advantage of the opening of new international air routes, Sanya, together with neighboring cities and counties, will develop more diverse tourist routes to attract more foreign tourists, according to the city's tourism bureau. -0-
