China Southern Airlines will increase the frequency of its Urumqi-Yerevan service from three to six flights a week starting July 21.

The announcement was made by Cen Jiaming, General Manager of China Southern Airlines' Yerevan Office, who said the move is aimed at further strengthening air connectivity between Armenia and China.

According to Cen, the expanded schedule will not only increase the number of flights but also provide passengers with more convenient travel options and better onward connections via Urumqi to Beijing, Guangzhou and other major Chinese cities.

"This marks an important milestone for China Southern Airlines in the Armenian market. Expanding the Urumqi-Yerevan route will further strengthen ties between our two countries and contribute to the growth of business, tourism and cultural exchanges," Cen said.

He added that the airline remains committed to continuously improving its services and further enhancing air connectivity between Armenia and China.
