Six cities, including Hefei, Harbin, Nanchang, Guiyang, Ningbo and Jinan, are joining another 21 mainland cities in operating direct passenger flights to Taiwan, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said yesterday.
The 108 direct passenger flights previously operating were all classed as charter flights. The new services will comprise both regular charter and scheduled flights.
Among the 27 designated mainland terminals, 25 will launch scheduled direct passenger flights from Monday to Saturday to Taipei's Taoyuan or Kaohsiung airports.
Scheduled direct cargo flights will be launched between Shanghai and Guangzhou on the mainland and Taoyuan and Kaohsiung, which will bring the total number of weekly charter and scheduled cargo flights to 28, according to the aviation administration.
