GUANGZHOU, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- Air Serbia on Monday started its first flight linking Belgrade and Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province.

Air Serbia flight JU988 received a water arch ceremony, the highest welcoming etiquette in civil aviation, after its landing at the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.

The airline company has planned to operate the Belgrade-Guangzhou round flights twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays.

Previously on Sept. 25, China Southern Airlines also launched a direct air route linking Guangzhou and Belgrade.
