Since July, airlines have increased their routes and flights to and from Tibet, which has brought more tourists to the region and stimulated the local economy, according to the Tibet branch of the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

 

Lhasa's airport has strengthened communication and coordination with airlines and improved its flight support capability by analyzing its operation during peak hours, with epidemic control and prevention methods ensured.

 

In August, Tibet handled 5,450 civil aviation flights, 615,000 passengers and 5,261.5 tonnes of cargo, representing a year-on-year increase of 9 percent, 4.1 percent and 22.4 percent, respectively.
