Nanhu Travel to launch Guangzhou-Maldives charter flight in Sep.
Guangdong Nanhu International Travel Service has announced that the maiden flight on the charter route from Guangzhou to the Maldives will depart on September 26, 2009.
Chen Zhichao, the deputy general manager of Nanhu Travel, said that the charter flight is scheduled to fly twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It will only take six hours from Guangzhou to the Maldives, which is six hours shorter than taking transit flights through Kuala Lumpur, Doha, or Dubai.
The charter flight will fly for one year, according to Chen. Tickets for the direct charter flight will be cheaper than those for transit flights.
