ZHENGZHOU -- A new air route will be launched between the city of Zhengzhou in central China's Henan Province and Mandalay in Myanmar on April 30.

The route will be operated by China Express Airlines with round-trip flights scheduled every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, using an Airbus A320 aircraft.

The outbound flight leaves Zhengzhou at 8:55 p.m. Beijing time and arrives in Mandalay at 11:05 p.m. local time. The return flight departs Mandalay at 1 a.m. local time and arrives in Zhengzhou at 6 a.m. Beijing time.
