Nyingchi Airport in China's Tibet Autonomous Region will begin service in early July, reports Air China Southwest Branch Company. With a 3,000-meter-long runway, the new airport, situated inside Nyingchi Prefecture and 400 kilometers from Tibet's regional capital Lhasa, was completed and passed an assessment on April 28. "The lower altitude will make Nyingchi an ideal first stop for tourists to gradually adapt themselves to Tibet's highland climate and minimize the effect of thin oxygen," said a spokesman for the branch company. The company will use a Boeing-757 to fly to Nyingchi Airport and plan to open a regular air route from Chengdu to Nyingchi Airport. More direct flights to Tibet can only be good, should make the prices go down a bit. Details at the link. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2006-06/14/content_616735.htm
