The Nanjing-Nagoya air route was launched in mid-June. This is the fifth direct flight between Nanjing and Japan launched by Nanjing Lukou International Airport after the opening of the air route from Nanjing to Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa and Sapporo.

The Nanjing-Nagoya flight makes it easier for us to contact customers in Nagoya, otherwise we will have to transfer to a car or high-speed train ride after flying to Osaka.
More routes and more convenient travel experiences, this is one of the specific measures to promote the development of primary aviation business since the establishment of the Eastern Airport Group last year.
The Eastern Airport Group currently has a total of seven member airports. In addition to the recently-launched Nanjing-Nagoya route, it will also open a direct flight route to Vladivostok, Russia, and has planned direct flights to Melbourne and other overseas destinations.
The airport in Lianyungang is expected to open an air route to Japan. The airport in Yancheng plans to open air routes to Busan of South Korea and Osaka of Japan. The Yangzhou Taizhou Airport plans to launch an air route to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Nha Trang, Vietnam. These efforts will continue to optimize the province's aviation network layout.
At the same time, by giving full play to its advantageous large-scale and networked clusters, the Eastern Airport Group has further coordinated its transportation capacity and promoted the coordinated development of trunk and feeder lines, international and domestic, passenger and freight transport. The construction of smart airports and the promotion of air and rail transportation products are also improving the service quality of Jiangsu’s civil aviation.
Last year, the group handled 41.67 million air passengers, up 16.5% year on year and 6.3 percentage points higher than the national average.

We have brought into full play the advantages of clustering of resources integration and synergy, clarified the positioning of different airports, and promoted better and faster development of Jiangsu’s civil aviation from a higher level and wider vision.
In the latest efforts to consolidate state-owned assets, Jiangsu promoted the acquisition of 16 provincial level hotels and tourism resources by Jinling Hotel Group to forge a mega-hotel cluster.
The hotels acquired by Jinling Hotel reported positive sales growth last year with a profit gain of 19.16% year on year.
Jinling Hotel has also regarded the reform of mixed ownership as a breakthrough in reform so as to continuously enhance its core competitiveness.
Di Jia, CPC secretary and chairman of Jinling Hotel
We have taken advantage of the good mechanism of private enterprises and the brand of state-owned enterprises to jointly realize the continuous high quality development of our primary business.
In recent years, Jiangsu has continued to enhance the strategic restructuring of provincial state-owned resources by reorganizing the provincial port group, the provincial railway group, the Eastern Airport Group and the Jinling Hotel Group after a reshuffle.
In the first five months of this year, the SASAC-supervised enterprises at the provincial and municipal levels maintained stable development, posting operating income of 360.97 billion yuan, an increase of 12.85% year on year and recording a total profit of 40.472 billion yuan, an increase of 17.61% year on year.
