(Dubai) – Emirates Airlines announced that it is to expand its services to mainland China with four weekly flights to Yinchuan (INC) and Zhengzhou (CGO) using a Boeing 777-200LR aircraft, starting from 3rd May, 2016.
The services will offer new international connectivity for two of China’s fastest growing cities, and expand Emirates’ destination offering on the mainland to five, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia, lies to the west of the Yellow River and to the east of Mount Helan. With a large Muslim population, it serves as a gateway connecting China to Arabic countries and is positioned as a hub for economic and trade cooperation and cultural exchange between China and the Middle East.
Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province and a major transportation interchange for central China, is an educational, technological and economic centre. The second largest city in central China, Zhengzhou’s strategic location has enabled the city to become one of the largest economic hubs in China.
