China Opens New Air Route to Japan

China Northwest Airlines opened an air route linking Shanghai with Okinawa in Japan Thursday. This was the first Okinawa-bound route and the fifth China-Japan air route opened by the China Northwest Airlines in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province.

The route provides convenience for Japanese visitors coming to the western part of China for sightseeing and business tours.

Planes will fly from Shanghai at 12:25 hours every Thursday and Sunday and return from Okinawa at 15:15 hours. The 1,310-km flight will take one hour and 55 minutes.
