On February 10, after nearly three years, the Quanzhou-Kinmen "Mini Three Links" passenger route, one of the important channels for direct communication between the coastal areas of Fujian and the Jinma region, resumed navigation.
After the resumption of flights, the flight is planned to be 2 round-trip flights per week.
On the morning of the 10th, the first passenger ship departed from Quanzhou Nanan Shijing Quanjin Passenger Terminal to Kinmen.
At noon that day, the passenger ship departing from Kinmen will also arrive in Quanzhou, completing the first round-trip flight after the resumption of navigation.
Since the opening of the Quanjin Passenger Line, more than 29,000 voyages have been safely operated, with 1.39 million passengers, 50% of whom are Taiwan compatriots, and the annual passenger flow has reached 160,000.
The resumption of the Quanjin route is another step in the expansion of the cross-strait "miniature three links" route following the resumption of the Xiamen-Jinjin passenger route and the Fuma passenger route.
It is the common expectation of compatriots on both sides of the strait to restore normal exchanges and exchanges between people on both sides of the strait as soon as possible.
While waiting for the resumption of flights, departments at all levels in Fujian continue to improve the operation facilities of Quanjin Passenger Terminal and the construction of supporting facilities for epidemic prevention and control, and make preparations for the resumption of passenger routes.
The Quanzhou Maritime Affairs Department has joined forces with waterways, fisheries, coast guard, public security and coastal defense and other sea-related departments to carry out regular patrol law enforcement to ensure unimpeded navigable waters, conduct comprehensive inspections on passenger ships, guide passenger ships to carry out emergency drills, and eliminate hidden dangers to ship navigation safety.
