An interprovincial low-altitude passenger transport route connecting Shanghai Pudong International Airport with the Kunshan City Terminal in neighboring Jiangsu province commenced commercial operations on Aug 18.

The inaugural flight, carrying two passengers, left Kunshan at 8:30 am and landed at the Pudong's Xingye aviation base 28 minutes later. The passengers were then transferred to Pudong airport by car, which took about 25 minutes. Operated by Shanghai Newsky Helicopter Co, the air taxi service halves travel time between Shanghai and Kunshan. Click the video and learn more.
