Chinese flag carrier Air China resumed direct flights between Beijing and Pyongyang on Monday, ending a six-year suspension of services between the capitals of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Passenger plane Flight CA121 departed Beijing Capital International Airport at 07:58 Beijing Time and landed at the Pyongyang Sunan International Airport at 10:37 local time, according to Air China.
The restoration of the flight route between the two neighboring countries comes after two-way international passenger train services resumed on March 12.
Both passenger flights and trains to the DPRK were suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The cross-border trains are currently running between Beijing and Pyongyang, and between Dandong, a northeastern Chinese border city in Liaoning Province, and Pyongyang.
