Serbian Prime Minister will welcome a new commercial intercontinental flight at 9 am in the company of the Ambassador of China to Serbia, Li Manchang, as well as representatives of the airline Hainan Airlines.

A return flight to Beijing is planned on the same day.

The flight on that line will be carried out twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays.

The new flight line will initially run via Prague and the flight route is, according to the Belgrade Mayor Sinisa Mali, Belgrade - Prague - Beijing, but passengers will not have to leave the plane.

The passengers on this flight will be taken with Airbus A330-300, which has 260 seats in Economy Class and 32 seats in Business class.

According to the media, Hainan Airlines started selling flight tickets on that line in late July, and the lowest return ticket price was around 550 euros. The flight between Belgrade - Prague - Beijing should take about 12 hours and 30 minutes.
