China Southern Airlines will resume its flights to Moscow as of April 10 in an effort to boost Asian-European air traffic service.

The airlines' branch in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Northwest China announced last Friday that Boeing 737 passenger planes will fly from Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang, to Moscow every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

The return flights will be on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

The flights suspended in 2003 amid the Asian financial crisis and affected by the epidemic of SARS that hit China.
