Non-stop Flight Links Hefei, Dali

Air China has launched a non-stop flight from Hefei, capital of East China’s Anhui province, to Dali in Southwest China’s Yunnan province starting June 1, according to Hefei Xinqiao International Airport.

Operated by a Boeing 737-800, the flight plies between the two cities on a daily basis. It leaves Dali at 10 am and arrives in Hefei at 12:45 am. The returned flight departs Hefei at 1:45 pm and reaches Dali at 4:50 pm.

The airline postponed the launching, due in late March, until June 1, and changed the type of aircraft from Boeing 737 Max to Boeing 737-800 after the worldwide grounding of Boeing 737 Max aircraft, which has been involved in two fatal crashes.
