AKIPRESS.COM - A direct flight linking Manzhouli, China's largest land port with Russia, with Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia, resumed Monday, reports Xinhua.

Flights between the two localities were initially launched on October 21, 2013, by a Mongolian airline.

Due to a drop in interest for flights the route was halted during the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday this year, according to an official at the Manzhouli's Xijiao International Airport.

Manzhouli City, which borders Mongolia and Russia, in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, processes more than 70 percent of all the land cargo between China and Russia.
