Tibet Airlines

As the only native airlines in Tibet, Tibet Airlines is planning to open four new air lines to provide convenience for tourists planning a Tibet tour. As we all known, summer and autumn are the peak seasons of Tibet tour, and the demand of the air tickets always greatly exceeds the supply in these seasons.

It is reported that Tibet Airlines has completed the trial flights between the 5 civil airports in Tibet Autonomous Region, including the Lhasa Gonggar Airport, Nyingchi Milin Airport, Ngari Gunsa Airport, Qamdo Bangda Airport and Shigatse Peace Airport. Except the Shigatse Peace Airport, the scheduled flight between the four other airports in Tibet has been opened successfully. The newly opened Chengdu-Shigatse air line would be available on every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. This flight will departure from Chengdu at 6:20 a.m. and land on Shigatse at 8:40 p.m. Then it will set off from Shigatse at 9:30 a.m. and finally get to Chengdu at 11:40 a.m.

Besides, noted as one of the must-visit regions in Tibet, Nyingchi has only flights to Chengdu and Chongqing before 2013. To enhance the connection between Nyingchi Prefecture in Tibet and the developed areas in eastern China, and promote the development of the tourism industry in Nyingchi, Tibet Airlines will open the flight between Nyingchi and Shanghai. This flight will be available on every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. It will departure from Nyingchi at 10:00 a.m. and get to Shanghai at 15:15 p.m. after a stop at Chengdu around 11:35 a.m. Tourists planning to enter into Nyingchi from Shanghai could take this flight at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport at 16:15 p.m. and fly to Nyingchi at 6:45 a.m. of the second day after a night halt at Chengdu.

It is reported that Nyingchi Milin Airport could only support the flights operation in early morning due to its special location and surrounding environment. Hence, the Nyingchi-Shanghai-Nyingchi flight could not be finished in one day and tourists could only land on Nyingchi in the next morning. In addition, Tibet Airlines will also add more flights between Lhasa and Ngari, Qamdo. There will be round-trip flights between Lhasa and Ngari on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The fight between Lhasa and Qamdo will also be added on every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday during the summer flight season.

According to the Tibet Airlines, the flight between Lhasa and Nanjing will be opened on April 16th. There will be two different flights between Nanjiang and Lhasa, one of them will take a transfer at Xining while the other will have a stop at Xining. The opening of the flight between Lhasa and Nanjing will provide great convenience for tourists in Jiangsu Province or Zhejiang Province. Tourists planning a Tibet tour by air will have more choices on the entrance cities of Tibet. Compared to the Tibet train tours, the flight tours save tourists a lot of time. It should also be noted that there is always larger demand in the train tickets and it is very difficult to get a train ticket in the peak season of Tibet tour.
