CHINA Eastern Airlines is launching a direct flight between Shanghai and Lhasa in the Tibet Autonomous Region, in July, becoming the first local carrier to operate the route. The carrier used an Airbus 330 aircraft on trial flights between the city and Lhasa Gongga International Airport. This is said to be the most difficult airport in China for pilots to land and take off, because of its 5,000-meter latitude, the airline said yesterday. The carrier will use the 250-seater A330 on the route, which takes about five hours. Meanwhile, China Eastern Airlines also announced that it will increase the number of flights between Lhasa and Xi'an, in Shaanxi Province, and Kunming, in Yunnan Province, to meet increasing tourist demand.
