    Australian airline Qantas Airways has reported that in March 2008 it will begin a new non-stop flight from Melbourne, Australia to Shanghai, China.

    The new service, which will use two-class Airbus A330 aircraft, will offer two flights a week, on Mondays and Fridays from Shanghai and on Tuesdays and Saturdays from Melbourne.

    According to John Borghetti, Qantas executive general manager, the new service shows the airline's commitment to the state of Victoria.

    When the Melbourne-Shanghai services commence, the airline will have ten services every week to China: five between Sydney and Shanghai, two between Melbourne and Shanghai and three between Sydney and Beijing.
