大河网讯 12月21日15时04分，随着一架空客A350-900从郑州新郑国际机场离开地面，飞向蓝天，标志着中国南方航空广州—郑州—卢森堡航线正式开航，146名旅客从郑州首次直飞卢森堡。

Previously, the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg air route is only for cargo transportation. The Guangzhou-Zhengzhou-Luxembourg air route launched this time is not only the first direct route for passengers between China and Luxembourg, but also the second intercontinental route run by China Southern Airlines following the one from Zhengzhou to London.

此前，郑州至卢森堡均为货运航线，如今南航开通的广州—郑州—卢森堡客运航线，是国内首条直飞卢森堡的客运航线，也是南航继郑州—伦敦航线后在郑州开通的第二条洲际航线。

The Guangzhou-Zhengzhou-Luxembourg air passenger route provides a new channel for people-to-people exchanges between China and Luxembourg. Its air passenger and cargo transportation services push the exchanges between the two sides to a new level. It is worth noting that it is also the first direct air passenger route between Luxembourg and Asia.

该客运航线的开通，使郑州—卢森堡“空中丝绸之路”再添人文往来的便捷通道，实现客货运“两翼俱丰”，中卢两国人员往来便利化水平迎来质的飞跃。同时，这也是卢森堡直飞亚洲的首条客运航线。

The initial schedule for the air passenger route is one round-trip per week. Outbound flights will depart from Zhengzhou at 14:50 on Thursdays, arriving in Luxembourg at 19:00 on the same day. Return flights will depart from Luxembourg at 15:00 on Fridays, reaching Zhengzhou at 8:10 on Saturdays.

据介绍，该客运航线运营初期，每周往返各一班，由南航A350-900机型执飞。去程航班每周四14：50从郑州出发，当地时间19：00抵达卢森堡；回程航班当地时间每周五15：00从卢森堡出发，周六8：10抵达郑州。（中文来源/大河网 记者/祝传鹏 编译/杨佳欣 审校/陈行洁）
