Hong Kong Airlines has opened the route between Hong Kong and Harbin.
The additional service ended the history that there was no nonstop flight on the airline between Heilongjiang and Hong Kong since the route between two areas suspended in 2005.
The flight starts from Hong Kong at 16:05 every Monday and Friday, arriving at Harbin at 20:20; every Tuesday and Saturday, the flight departs from Harbin at 9:20, and arrives at Hong Kong at 13:30. The service is operated using Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
Sun Chunjing, general manager of Heilongjiang Provincial Airport Group Company, said that currently the Taiping International Airport in Harbin has opened 82 domestic and international routes throughout 47 cities both in China and in Russia, Japan, South Korea, North America and Europe, operated by 23 Chinese and overseas airlines.
