More Flights From Australia to China

More and more people are wanting to fly from Australia to China for business or holiday purposes. It will now be easier to fly to China under a new agreement that boosts airline seat numbers. Mr Anthony Albanese, Federal Transport Minister, said airlines from China and Australia would be able to offer up to 18,500 seats on flights between major Australian cities and China each week. The old cap on seats was 14,500 per week. This number will rise to 22,500 seats from February next year. Chinese tourism is currently worth $3.1 billion to the Australian Economy.
