A new air route will be launched Monday, linking Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang in northwest China, with the Tajik capital Dushanbe to serve the growing number of Tajik tourists to China.

The weekly flight, available every Monday, is operated by the Xinjiang company of China's Southern Airlines.

This is the sixth air route the Xinjiang Company runs to Central Asian countries, following the ones to Alma-Ata of Kazakhstan and Bishkek of Kyrgyzstan.
