Air China will start flying the UK’s only non-stop service between the UK and Chengdu - the prosperous capital of Sichuan province in China – on July 3rd.
The flight will become 67th long-haul route out of Gatwick.
Three flights a week will connect the UK with China’s fourth biggest city which – located in the geographic centre of the country – is developing the country’s largest western transport and logistics hub.
The new service has the capacity of over 45,000 seats and over 1,500 metric tonnes of cargo per year.
Business passengers can take advantage of opportunities in a city hosting over 270 Fortune 500 companies - and one known as a hub for scientific and technological innovation - and a current focus on attracting foreign start-up companies to take up residency.
