Air Serbia starts flights from Belgrade to China's Guangzhou

Air Serbia on Monday started its first flight linking Belgrade and Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province. Air Serbia flight JU988 received a water arch ceremony, the highest welcoming etiquette in civil aviation, after its landing at the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. The airline company has planned to operate the Belgrade-Guangzhou round flights twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays. Previously on Sept. 25, China Southern Airlines also launched a direct air route linking Guangzhou and Belgrade. Deng Yonggang, deputy general manager of the Guangdong Airport Authority, said that the opening of the Belgrade-Guangzhou route of Air Serbia marked another historic step in the aviation connectivity between China and Serbia, and built a more convenient air bridge for personnel exchanges and economic and trade cooperation between the two countries.<br/>
