Yunnan Lucky Air plans to launch direct flights between two cities in Yunnan Province and two in Taiwan, the subsidiary of China's HNA Group announced on Thursday.
Launching on Feb. 27, the service between provincial capital Kunming and Taiwan's Hualien will be the first direct flight connecting the two cities, according to a statement from the Kunming-based carrier.
It will run once a week, using a Boeing B737-800. The outbound trip from Kunming will take three hours and 10 minutes and the return journey just under four hours.
Another flight linking Lijiang and Taipei will be launched on March 7.
An Airbus A320 will fly the route once a week in spring and winter and three times a week in summer and autumn. The outbound journey from Lijiang will take three hours and 50 minutes and the return trip five minutes more.
