Irkutsk, China's Manchuria open direct flights.

24/8 Tass 71

IRKUTSK, August 24 (Itar-Tass) - Direct flights between Irkutsk and
China's Manchuria have been opened.
Hainan Airlines will make flights twice a week - on Tuesday and on
Friday, the directorate of the Irkutsk Airport told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
"Direct air link with Manchuria is a long-standing need. It was
impossible to open direct flights until the local airport got the
international status and the two countries' aviation services signed the
relevant agreement," the source said.
Until now it took around 36 hours to go from Irkutsk to Manchuria by
train or by car.
