STORYLINE:

Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport
Zhengzhou, China

China and Luxembourg launched the first direct air route for passengers.

A total of 146 passengers flying from China's Zhengzhou in Henan Province landed in Luxembourg on Thursday.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): ROLAND REILAND, Ambassador of Luxembourg to China
"I think that Luxembourg Airport and Luxembourg can be the gateway for Chinese tourists to discover Europe, given the proximity between Luxembourg and neighboring countries such as Germany, France, and Belgium, and also the Netherlands which is not very far. And similarly, the Zhengzhou airport can be the gateway for bringing European tourists into central China and even beyond, into the rest of China."

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): ALEXANDER FLASSAK, CEO of Luxembourg International Airport
"We are very pleased about the first direct connection to China. Preparations for this flight have been underway for several months in close cooperation with the airlines, relevant authorities and embassies. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming the passengers from China."

In comparison to the previous indirect flights, the new air route saves passengers several hours in travel time.

SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): Ms. ZHAO, Chinese passenger
"This is our honeymoon trip. We will travel to five countries. We will take this direct flight to Luxembourg. It's very convenient and fast."

SOUNDBITE 4 (English): MAYER KURT JOSEPH, French passenger
"On November 6th, we had a flight and we had to pass Beijing, Frankfurt in Germany, and two hours' car to go to my home. I am happy that this flight exists. It's great."
   
In the initial phase, the air route will operate one round-trip flight per week.
