A new air route has been launched in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, linking three places in the area - Baotou, Chifeng and Ulaanhot - with the maiden flight made on Jan 10, according to local media reports.

The Baotou-Chifeng-Ulaanhot flight, operated by China Express Airlines, is scheduled to fly four times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

It takes off from Baotou at 13:40, stops in Chifeng at 15:05 before reaching Ulaanhot at 17:05. The return flight departs Ulaanhot at 17:45, and arrives in Chifeng at 19:05. It takes off at 19:45 and finally reaches Baotou at 21:25.

The opening of the route completes an "air bridge" between the eastern and western parts of the autonomous region.

The launch of this route also further enhances the interconnection between Chifeng and Ulaanhot, promotes regional cooperation and development and economic and cultural exchanges, and provides faster and more convenient travel options for passengers.
