The schedule for charter flights across the Taiwan Strait over the Mid-Autumn Festival has finally been fixed.

Eight airlines from both the mainland and Taiwan will run sixteen round-trip flights.

Most will arrive or depart from Shanghai to Taipei.

Two flights will also take-off from, and land in Xiamen, in eastern Fujian province.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September 14.

But charter flights will start earlier and end later ... running from September 7, that's Sunday this week, to September 21.
