China Southern Airlines will launch a new flight connecting the northwest Chinese city of Urumqi with Seoul. Commencing on 17 June 2014, to take advantage of the summer tourist season in Xinjiang province, the new service will operate three times a week (Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays) using a Boeing 757 aircraft. The China Southern service will become the first direct air link between Urumqi and Seoul.
