Sapporo, the main city on the northern island of Hokkaido, will be Air China's seventh destination in Japan. Air China presently offers more than 230 weekly flights between China and Japan, connecting China to the six major Japanese cities: Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sendai, and Hiroshima. The new service (flight CA169/170) will be offered twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The outbound CA169 will depart Beijing at 8:00 a.m., arriving Sapporo at 1:00 p.m. Returning flight CA170 will depart Sapporo at 2:00 p.m., arriving back in Beijing at 5:00 p.m. (all times local).
In addition to its own service, Air China code-shares with Japan's All Nippon Airways on routes between the two countries. 'We are pleased to offer this dedicated Beijing - Sapporo non-stop service,' said Mrs. Zhang Lan, Senior Vice President for Air China. 'By opening yet another route between China and Japan, Air China continues to expand its excellent network and offer attractive, comfortable travel to passengers in northeast Asia and beyond.'

Air China continues to attract increasing international recognition as a world-class carrier and enjoys a growing reputation for high quality service, known for its traditional Chinese warmth and welcome.
