A non-stop air route to Lhasa was opened with the take-off of airbus A319 from Wuhan Tianhe International Airport on May 18. This is the first and only non-stop route to Tibet from Wuhan, China's Hubei province.

It will further enhance the accessibility between cities, and promote economic development and urban exchanges between the two places.

The number of domestic and international routes has increased to 179, including 124 domestic routes and 55 international routes.
