OREANDA-NEWS.  Starting on Sunday, Hefei Xinqiao International Airport in East China's Anhui province will launch a flight to Frankfurt of Germany on a daily basis.

An Air China plane coded CA931 departs from Xinqiao at 8:25 and arrives at Frankfurt Airport at 18:15, with a stopover in Chinese capital Beijing from 9:55 to 14:00. The returned flight CA932 leaves Frankfurt at 20:15, arrives in Beijing at 11:25 next day, takes off from Beijing Capital International Airport at 13:25 and reaches the destination at 15:15.

As Anhui's first Europe - bounded route, the Hefei - Frankfurt air line will not only facilitate travel between the Chinese Inland province and European Union countries, but also play an important role in promoting Anhui's opening up, local transport authorities said.
