China's flag carrier Air China (CA) has filed an application with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to launch a nonstop international service between Chengdu and Sydney starting June, 2016, according to an announcement released Wednesday on the official website of CAAC.

Pending government approval, the Beijing-based carrier will fly its Airbus A330-200 aircraft on the Chengdu-Sydney route starting next June, with seven flights weekly.

The Air Transportation Department of CAAC is soliciting public comments on the application until Dec. 24, 2015.

In recent years, Air China is persistently expanding Chengdu's air route network, building Chengdu as the largest airport hub in Midwest China. On Dec. 12, Air China launched the nonstop Chengdu-Paris flight. What's more, Chengdu airport has broke the record of serving up to 40 million passengers in 2015, marking a historical milestone of entering China's 40 million passenger club after Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou
