By Jiang Yao
MORE flights will take off from Pudong International Airport when Hongqiao Airport starts its refurbishment in mid-May. A spokeswoman for East China Air Traffic Administration said daily flights at Pudong Airport will rise from 110 to 270, while Hongqiao Airport will reduce daily flights from 370 to 210. She said the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) is adjusting the timetable for the city's two airports. "The flight schedule will be balanced to favour the city's civil aviation development," she said. CAAC has stipulated flights between Shanghai and Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao will land at Hongqiao Airport. Overseas flights bound from Shanghai for Japan and the Republic of Korea will also take off at Hongqiao. "Some flights will change according to specific conditions," she said. Landing at Pudong Airport will be flights from Hainan, Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Tianjin and all provinces in East China except from Jinan, capital city of Shandong Province. Flights of 15 foreign airlines will take off at Pudong Airport. She said flights flying to a third destination via Shanghai will land at Pudong Airport. The air traffic administration is making preparations for the change of flights. Buses to Pudong Airport will run once every 20 minutes instead of 40 minutes now.
