Singapore Airlines launched an air route linking Beijing's Dasin International Airport and Singapore on Monday.

Flights on this route are operated by Boeing 787-10 aircraft daily in both directions.

Thus, the number of passenger flights of the aforementioned airline on the Beijing-Singapore route has increased to 28 per week, Singapore Airlines informed.

Dai Haoyu, spokesperson of Singapore Airlines, said the growing Chinese market will be a bright spot in the global civil aviation passenger transportation market over the next 10-20 years.

“China is an important strategic market for us,” he added.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China predicts that the country's passenger transportation volume will reach a record high of 700 million by the end of 2024. China has been the world's second-largest civil aviation sector for 19 consecutive years. Its contribution to the growth of global air transportation exceeded 20 percent.
