Shanxi hopes short-haul flights will boost province's tourism
China DailyThe ancient Yanmen Pass in Shanxi province's Xinzhou city is one of the Great Wall's three outside passes. North China's Shanxi province is looking to boost tourism by developing a short-haul flight service and improving its transportation system. Besides the Taiyuan-Lyuliang air route, at the same time, Shanxi also launched short-haul flights linking Taiyuan to the cities of Datong, Yuncheng and Changzhi. "To stimulate the development of aviation services in Shanxi, the province established Shanxi General Aviation Co Ltd last year and started to develop short-haul flights," says Shi Lei, chairman of the company. Shanxi, dubbed as a sea of coal, expects to boost its tourism industry, as well as combine the cultural and sports industries with the general-aviation industry through short-haul airline business, Shi says.
