All Yun-7 Planes in Wuhan Resume Operation

A Yun-7 plane took off from Wangjiadun Airport at 7:30 Sunday morning, marking the operation of the Yun-7 planes was resumed after more than three weeks' suspension following an air-crash in central China.

A Chinese-made Yun-7 passenger plane of the Wuhan Airlines departed from Enshi City to Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, on June 22 and crashed shortly before arrival, killing all four crew members and 38 passengers aboard.

After the accident, the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China ordered a suspension of flight on all the 16 air routes the company operates with its seven Yun-7 planes and a thorough check-up on the remaining six Yun-7s.

At present, the six Yun-7 planes have been proved airworthy and are ready to fly the 16 routes, said Cheng Yaokun, general manager of the Wuhan Airlines.
