China Air launches direct connection to Poland

Chinese carrier Air China launched its first ever direct flight to Poland on Wednesday. The Airbus A330, which took off from Beijing, landed in Warsaw at 7 am after a 9.5 hour flight. "We will fly on this route on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Passengers will be able to conveniently switch to other flights, among others, to Japan or other Asian directions," said Hou Xulun, deputy CEO of Air China. The Poland launch follows a year after Air China started flying to Hungary and Belarus.
