Air China will resume services from Beijing to Pyongyang in May, Huanqiu.com reported on Tuesday.

The flights, suspended on April 14 as tensions on the Korean Peninsula rose, will operate on Monday and Friday from May 5, according to the report. Booking has opened and there are plenty of tickets available, according to Air China's website.

As the only Chinese airline that provides direct flights to Pyongyang, Air China started direct services from China to the DPRK in 2008. The services were suspended due to “gloomy ticket sales,” the airline told CCTV.
