For the Beijing-Manzhouli route, a daily flight departs from Beijing at
5:20pm and arrives in Manzhouli two hours later. Manzhouli is located on the
borders of China, Mongolia and Russia, and has become a popular tourist
destination in recent years. Air China's newly launched route will help
promote economic, trade and tourism development in Manzhouli, as well as
improve communications and cooperation between the city and Beijing while
strengthening cooperation between China and its neighboring countries.

For the Chengdu-Urumqi-Korla Sinkiang route, a daily flight departs from
Chengdu at 12:45am, transfers via Urumqi and arrives in Korla Sinkiang at
5:45pm. The return flight departs from Korla Sinkiang at 6:35pm every day,
transfers via Urumqi and arrives in Chengdu at 11:30pm. This route is part of
the government's Xinjiang support program and connects Xinjiang with central
regions of China, building a bridge for the economic and cultural development
of Xinjiang.

With visits to the coasts and seaside resorts of China becoming more and
more popular, Air China has launched its Chongqing-Qingdao route. Flights are
available on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and depart from Chongqing at
9:10am and arrive in Qingdao at 11:25am. The return flights depart from
Qingdao at 12:25am and arrive at Chongqing at 3:00pm. With the Qingdao Beer
Festival opening recently, this route will be popular with tourists from
Central China.

"These new routes will offer China's growing number of tourists the
opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful parts of this country," said
Zhou Enyong, General Manager of Air China's marketing department. "Over the
past few months, we have launched several new and updated routes in order to
bring our customers the best in convenience and comfort, as well as a
wide-range of travel options."
