A new flight route between Paris and the northeastern Chinese city of Harbin will be launched on March 30, which will be operated with Airbus A320 by Russia's Ural Airlines.

This flight runs once a week on Thursday. The one-way flight will take about 14 hours, slashing the current travel time between Harbin and Paris, which require a transfer in Beijing or Shanghai and take 16 or 19 hours.

The flight will leave from Harbin at 01:05, and will arrive at Ekaterinburg, Russian on 04:35. After a short stopover, it departs from Ekaterinburg at 06:40, and land in Paris on 08:25. The return flight departs from Paris on 09:25, and arrives at Ekaterinburg on 18:45. Then, it will land in Harbin on 07:05, Friday. (all time above are local time)
