Since the beginning of this year, there has been an increase in the number of flights in Ningbo Lishe International Airport, as well as that of the entry and exit passengers. According to statistics, up to December 10, Ningbo airport had quarantined 3846 entry or exit flights and 500,627 passengers, up by 42.1% and 23.2% respectively. In particular, the number of entry and exit passengers has exceeded 500,000, reaching a historical high. This is the first time for the annual number to be bigger than 500,000 since the airport opened its international and regional flights. From this year on, the airport has opened direct flights to Angkor, Bangkok, Jeju Island and Singapore, while more flights to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao have also been conducted. Up until now, there have been 13 flights to six countries or regions, with 94 flights arriving and departing per week. The opening of the new flights and the increase in the flights to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao enable citizens to have diversified choices when considering traveling abroad and this in turn promotes the increase of the number of entry and exit passengers.
