Chengdu Opens New Direct Flight Routes

Sichuan Airlines will launch regular business charter flights from Tianfu International Airport in Chengdu to Pokhara, Nepal, on March 18, with one flight operated every Tuesday. On April 30, Sichuan Airlines will open the direct round-trip flights from Tianfu International Airport in Chengdu to Penang, Malaysia, with five flights a week scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The departure flight from Chengdu to Penang will take four hours and 25 minutes, while the return flight will take four hours and 10 minutes. This new air route is set to launch just before the May 1 Festival holidays, offering travelers new options for outbound trips.

Starting on May 1, Chengdu will increase its direct flight to Dubai, UAE, from the current five flights a week to a daily service. Tickets booking for the new schedule are now available online, with economy class fares starting at RMB1900 (tax included). The Chengdu-Dubai cargo freight direct flights will also be launched in April.
