Guangzhou, 23 June (Reporter Jun Guo): The weekend charter flights between the two sides will be launched on July 4. It is understood that weekend charter flights between the two sides of the strait still need to bypass the Hong Kong flight (aviation) information region, which is not a real direct flight. Liu Shaoyong, chairman of China Southern Airlines, said here today that he hopes that weekend charter flights can be normalized and daily charter flights can be realized, so as to realize direct cross-strait flights in the future.

On July 4th, Liu Shaoyong will personally fly the first weekend charter flight to Taiwan. China Southern Airlines is expected to become the first continental airline to arrive in Taiwan Province Province by charter flight on weekends.

"I will fly from the mainland to Taipei for the first time. I am very happy and excited. " Put forward four expectations for the future development of cross-strait charter flights in Liu Shaoyong: First, I hope that cross-strait charter flights will not bypass the Hong Kong flight information region in the future and truly achieve direct flights instead of direct flights; Second, I hope to increase the number of flights on the basis of weekend charter flights, and finally realize one flight a day; Third, I hope to increase the number of charter flights between the two sides; Fourth, I hope that the Taiwan Province authorities will support airlines and enterprises on both sides of the strait to set up offices in Taiwan Province Province.

It is estimated that the direct flight route from Shanghai to Taipei is 393 nautical miles, which takes 1.09 minutes. If you fly from Shanghai to Taipei via Hong Kong flight information region, the flight route is 1084 nautical mile and the flight time is 2 hours and 42 minutes. Waste an hour and a half or so. At the same time, the cost of airlines will increase by 30% to 50%. (End)
