The suspension came after China supported what was called the toughest sanctions by the United Nations against North Korea's nuclear weapons program. The North relies on China for most of its imports and exports.

The service resumed following two meetings this year between the North's leader Kim Jong-un and China's President Xi Jinping.

Air China's medium-haul Boeing 737-700s fly the route Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons for fares as low as 1,770 yuan (about 300,000 won).
