China Eastern Airlines Jiangsu will open a new direct route on March 20 from Nanjing to Singapore.

This new route is expected to enhance business and travel exchanges, and also promote the Youth Olympic Games.

As the host city of the first and second Youth Olympic Games, Singapore has had a close relationship with Nanjing. The Nanjing-Singapore route will also attract athletes to travel between the two cities.

Flight MU771 takes off each Monday, Thursday, and Friday at 10:00 from Nanjing Lukou International Airport and gets to Singapore at 15:50. The return flights depart from Singapore at 17:05 and arriving at Nanjing Lukou at 22:00.
