Tianjin to launch direct airline to Serbia in December

(ECNS) -- A new airline connecting China’s Tianjin and Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is scheduled to open in December, according to the Foreign Affairs Office of Tianjin.

The direct flight will further promote Tianjin’s relations with Serbia and other Central and Eastern European countries, said Luan Jianzhang, director of Tianjin's Foreign Affairs Office.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Tuesday said this is big news for Serbia, which is not a member of the European Union.
