Sichuan Airlines, China’s sixth biggest domestic carrier, has launched twice-weekly flights to Dubai from Chengdu via Yinchuan

The first service took place on Friday 4 September using the carrier’s A330-300s. No other carrier operates between these two Chinese cities and Dubai. At 4,934 kilometres, the Yinchuan to Dubai sector is the fifth longest flown by the airline after Chengdu-Melbourne (8,690 kilometres), Chongqing-Sydney (8,478 kilometres), Shenyang-Vancouver (8,000 kilometres) and Chengdu-Moscow Sheremetyevo (5,797 kilometres). Yinchuan becomes only the sixth Chinese airport with non-stop flights to and from Dubai after Beijing (Air China and Emirates), Guangzhou (China Southern Airlines and Emirates), Kunming (China Eastern Airlines), Shanghai Pudong (Emirates) and Urumqi (China Southern).
