BEIJING: China's national airline, Air China, has cancelled some flights to the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, due to poor demand but it has not suspended all flights there, it said on Friday, denying a report by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.

CCTV had reported that all flights run by the airline between the two cities were to be suspended indefinitely.

"Air China did not stop operation of the Beijing to Pyongyang route, but temporarily cancelled some flights based on the situation of ticket sales," said a person in Air China's communications team.

Tourism to North Korea from around the world (yes, there is, or rather was, tourism) is routed through Beijing to Pyongyang (via flights by Air China).

I am sure that tourism, such as it is, has disappeared.
