Moscow and Novosibirsk in Russia/Siberia

first four gained from China Xinjiang Airlines, latter from China Northern Airlines as both carriers are merged into China Southern. 757-200 are used for the first four MD-80/90 for the latter.

first four served from Urumqi in western China latter from Beijing and Dalian.

Another new destination has just been added to their network, its Dubai in the UAE to be served once weekly from Urumqi with a 757-200. CZ also fly to Sharjah in the UAE also from Urumqi.

Since there seems to be demand on the route I wonder if Emirates would be interested in flying to Urumqi, perhaps even connecting it with Almaty in Kazakhstan which they plan to start service to in 2004.

The airline is also taking over the former domestic Terminal 1 at Beijing Capital Airport and converting it into their own.

Lookavi:

Up until a year or so ago I did the recurrent training for China Northern crews on the MD-90. Their junior F.O.s were lucky to fly 50 hours in a year ( talk about a handful in the sim ). So the prospect of them needing expats is extremely slim. China is not a market for expats as they don't need them unless it is for an introduction into service type of contract. Besides, a China Northern captain only makes $US1000 per month.
