Air China to resume flights to North Korea after train service restarted

Air China will resume flights flying between Beijing and North Korea from Mar 30, the airline's website said on Saturday, after passenger train services running between the two nations restarted earlier this week .



According to the website of the stated-owned airline, flights from China's capital to Pyongyang, North Korea's capital, will run every Monday until May 18, but would scale down to two Mondays in June.



In 2020 with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, North Korea banned tourists, jetted out diplomats and severely curtailed border traffic in one of the world’s most strictest COVID-19 restrictions.



Two years later, Pyongyang started slowly easing curbs and reopening its borders.
