WUHAN, June 22 (Xinhua) -- China Eastern Airlines on Friday reopened its passenger flights between central China's transportational hub Wuhan and Singapore as a new visa-free policy has boosted travel demands.
The route, connecting Wuhan Tianhe International Airport and Singapore's Changi Airport, will see three round-trip flights every week on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
China Eastern Airlines first launched the air route between Wuhan and Singapore in 2012, but the red-eyed service was suspended two years later amid low demands.
In February, China and Singapore implemented a mutual 30-day visa-free travel policy, leading to a growing flight demands between the two countries.
According to the airlines, the booking rate of flights from Wuhan to Singapore has reached 80 percent recently. ■
