The skies just got friendlier over North Korea and China

Air China is resuming flights to North Korea’s capital, the latest indication of improving ties between the two countries after tensions over Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions. Air China suspended flights to Pyongyang in November, blaming poor ticket sales. The move came at a time when the US and the UN Security Council were stepping up sanctions and economic pressure on North Korea over its continued nuclear and missile tests. Tuesday, the airline’s website showed round-trip flights from Beijing to Pyongyang as once again being available, starting Wednesday. The resumption of flights comes a week before an off-again, on-again summit is due to be held in Singapore between US president Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. <br/>
