China Eastern Airlines will launch a new route from Nanjing, a major city in east China, to Pusan City of the Republic of Korea, via Yantai on China's eastern coast, on Dec. 9.

Two flights a week, on Wednesday and Sunday, will fly to ROK's largest port city. Airbus A320 aircraft with a capacity of 158 passengers will be used in the new service.

Airlines already operate routes between Nanjing and Seoul, and between Yancheng City in Jiangsu Province and Seoul.
