Air China again taking off for Pyongyang - 3 days a week

The national flag carrier Air China resumed flights between Beijing and Pyongyang on Wednesday - nearly seven months after they were suspended - amid growing demand for travel to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Three flights a week in each direction - on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - are scheduled.

"The resumption is a market-driven behavior," the company said. It suspended the service on Nov 22 "due to a decline in market demand".
