Japan's two largest airlines -- Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways
(ANA), will start four daily flights between the two airports, sources
with the General Administration of Civil Aviation said on Saturday.

during Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to Japan in April.
According to official data, 16 airlines from both countries are
conducting 738 flights every week, linking 19 Chinese cities and 17
Japanese ones. These companies carried more than 7.5 million passengers
in 2006.

between China and Japan, the two countries plan to hold cultural and
sports exchange activities this year, including marathons in Beijing and
Dalian, a coastal city in northeast China.
