Air China will suspend services from Beijing to Pyongyang from Monday, after the last flight returned at 6 p.m. on Friday, due to "gloomy ticket sales," the airline has told CCTV.
Air China is the only Chinese airline that provides direct flights to Pyongyang.
After the suspension of Air China’s Beijing-Pyongyang service, air travelers to Pyongyang will have to fly the DPRK's Air Koryo, which operates flights from China’s Beijing, Shenyang, Shanghai, Dandong and Russia's Vladivostock.
Air China started flying directly from China to Pyongyang in 2008.
There is no information on if or when flights will be resumed.
