Chinese agreement

CHINA AND TAIWAN have signed an agreement to further increase fights between the two countries.  At the present time nine mainland carriers operate 135 weekly services covering 27 destinations.  Airlines will be permitted to add 100 weekly cross-straits flights.  Two new destinations are also included in the accord, Shanghai’s old Hongqiao Airport and Shijiazhuang, capital of Hebei Province.  Currently, direct flights between Shanghai and Taipei must be operated to/from the new Pudong International. www.caa.gov.tw www.caac.gov.cn/English
