NANNING, June 8(Xinhua) -- Jin Air, a budget airline from the Republic of Korea (ROK), will start regular flights between the ROK's capital of Seoul and the city of Nanning in southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region on June 15.

The four-hour direct flights will significantly reduce travel time between the cities, according to the Guangxi Civil Airport Group.
