In about one month, the flight from Ningbo to Rome will be open at Ningbo Lishe International Airport, the first direct flight from Ningbo to Europe. Meanwhile, more flights will be added to the routes to Japan, South Korea and the Southeast Asian countries, consolidating the internationalized orientation of Ningbo Port.

In recent years, with the rapid development of overseas tourism and business, Ningbo has launched the flights to such major destinations as Japan, South Korea and the Southeast Asia. The new routes to Europe, though in form of chartered flights, will greatly extend the "air corridor" for Ningbo. The new flights, to be conducted by the Zhejiang Branch of China Eastern Airlines, will include the Ningbo-Rome (Italy) route to be launched on May 28 and the Ningbo-Frankford (Germany) route to be launched on June 6. The first stage will be the chartered planes and later on the airline will conduct scheduled flights, and now people can fly to Europe by participating in the package tours arranged by travel agencies.

For the existing routes, more flights will be scheduled. The Eastern Airlines will add more flights to Japan, South Korea and the Southeast Asian countries from June 10 on. To be specific, new flights to Osaka (Japan) will be added on Monday and Friday, besides those on Thursday and Sunday scheduled currently, and the new flights to Shizuoka (Japan) will be added on Wednesday and Sunday, besides those on Tuesday and Friday. For the route to South Korea, besides the Saturday flights to Cheju, chartered planes will be scheduled to Seoul, Cheongju, Gwangju, and Daegu. For the routes to Southeast Asia, there will be a daily flight to Bangkok, instead of only on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the flights to Danong (Vietnam) will be added on Wednesday and Saturday. In addition, the Zhejiang Branch of Eastern Airlines will launch the routes to Siem Reap (Cambodia) and Krabi (Thailand).
