Cross-Straits flight leaves Shanghai for Taipei
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-07-29 13:17 The first flight of the second northern direct air route linking the Chinese mainland and Taiwan left Shanghai for Taipei at 10:42 am Wednesday. The flight was carried out by Taiwan TransAsia Airways.
The Chinese mainland and Taiwan started direct air and sea transport and postal services on December 15 last year, ending a 59-year ban on such links. Previously, air and sea movements -- including mail -- had to reroute through a third location. The first direct cross-Straits flight route cut flight time significantly as planes are no longer required to fly through Hong Kong's airspace. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
