Travelers between the Japanese city of Nagoya and southwest China's Chongqing Municipality now have more choices as more flights have been added to the timetable since May 8.

According to Air China Chongqing Company, a Boeing 737-800 now flies every day except Wednesday between the cities. It takes off from Chongqing at 7:35 a.m. (local time) and arrives in Nagoya at 1:40 p.m. (local time) via Shanghai. The return flight arrives at 7:10 p.m. (local time) also via Shanghai.

Flights between the two cities began in 1998 and were suspended from last October to January due to market demand. The Chongqing International Airport now has overseas air links to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Seoul, Inchon and Nagoya.
