| Flight stewardesses from Xiamen Airlines pose at the press conference for the upcoming Cross-Strait Spring Festival direct flights between Taiwan and mainland China. 12 airlines will operate a total of 72 flights over the Chinese lunar New Year period. This is the first time there will be direct flights between Xiamen and Taiwan. More than half of the Xiamen Airlines stewardesses speak Minnan Dialect, making the trip easier and more relaxed for Taiwanese passengers. The first flight takes off at 8 o'clock today, and has been fully booked for weeks. Photo by Zheng Xiaodong |
