In order to cater for the expected influx as Olympic Games draws closer, Air China decided to add another daily round-trip flight on its Hefei-Beijing route from June 2, 2008.

The extra flights are numbered CA1579/1580 aboard a Boeing 737-800, which leave Beijing at 18:00 and arrive in Hefei at 20:00, then depart from Hefei at 21:00 and touch down in Beijing at 23:00.

It's understood by CARNOC.com that, with this capacity increase, there will be as many as 6 daily round-trip flights between the capital of China's Anhui Province and Beijing.
