Beijing: Air China will resume direct flights between Beijing and Pyongyang from March 30, according to tour agencies and the state-owned carrier's website, after train services between the two capitals resumed last week.
China is North Korea's largest trading partner and a vital source of diplomatic, economic and political support for the isolated nuclear state.
However, travel between the East Asian neighbours has been heavily curtailed since 2020 under strict border closures during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Flight CA121 is scheduled to leave Beijing Capital Airport at 8:05 am (0005 GMT) on March 30 and arrive in Pyongyang at 11 am (0200 GMT), according to Air China's website.
A return flight is scheduled for 12 pm the same day.
