New direct air link connects Shenzhen with Mongolia's Ulaanbaatar

(ECNS) -- A direct passenger flight route between Shenzhen in southern China’s Guangdong province and Mongolia’s capital, Ulaanbaatar, opened Thursday.

The route adds a link to Shenzhen Airport’s Northeast Asian network and gives the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area a more convenient air connection with Mongolia for trade, tourism and people-to-people exchanges.

Mongolia’s Hunnu Air will operate the route with E190 aircraft, with one round trip every Thursday.

Shenzhen Airport now has 46 passenger routes to 25 Belt and Road Initiative partner countries.
