China South Airlines will begin operating a direct flight from Guiyang in Guizhou province to Seoul on April 19.

The newly-introduced Boeing 737-800 will be adopted for flights No CZ8303/8304. The flights will occur three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

The one-way direct flight will take less than four hours, three hours shorter than existing stop-over flights.

The lowest round trip airfare will be 1,200 yuan ($185.52), and the tax payment will be about 1,020 yuan.

Passengers can purchase tickets on the official website or APP. China South Airlines’ branch office in Guizhou also cooperates with many travel agencies from home and abroad to provide featured tours.

Qualified aircrew with rich experience and Korean communication skills have been selected to ensure top service, including provision of Korean characteristic meals.

Direct flights comply with the industry requirements of Guizhou and are expected to contribute to its development.
