Unlike other Chinese airlines that are slashing flights to Japan amid escalating tensions between the two countries over the Diaoyu Islands, Shanghai-based Spring Airlines decided to offer reduced fares for flights between Shanghai and the Japanese prefectures of Saga and Kagawa.

Saga relies heavily on Chinese tourists to boost the local economy, but the rocky relationship between Japan and China has led to a sharp decrease in the number of passengers on the airline's Japanese flights.

Saga's local government said at a recent news conference that travelers between Shanghai and Saga can board the flights with confidence.

The prefecture's government decided to jointly support the initiative with the airline, which is offering up to 50 reduced tickets for each flight between Shanghai and Saga starting on Monday. Each flight can carry 180 passengers.

The tickets will cost 1 yen ($0.01) if bought in Japan.

The campaign by China's only budget airline will last until Dec 20, with a total of 12 flights per week operated by the airline between Shanghai and the two Japanese prefectures.

The tickets from Shanghai to Saga or Kagawa will cost 560 yuan ($90), and from Saga or Kagawa to Shanghai will cost 470 yuan, after airport fees and fuel surcharges.

The reduced tickets were launched at 2 pm on Monday, and 263 promotional tickets had been reserved as of midnight on Tuesday. Those figures are in stark contrast with the roughly 50 percent seat-occupancy rate seen before the promotional activity, said Zhang Wu'an, a spokesman for the carrier.

Kagawa prefecture is also jointly supporting the initiative with the airline, Zhang said, adding that there are no plans to launch similar promotions in the near future.

Major Chinese airlines have been reducing their flights to Japan due to the shrinking number of passengers as tensions between the two countries threaten bilateral economic ties.

China Southern Airlines, which has an 11 percent market share of the China-Japan civil aviation market, will stop its four weekly flights from Beijing to Toyama on Oct 28, Kyodo News reported on Wednesday.

Peng Jun, head of the airline's public relations department, did not confirm that the flights from Beijing to Toyama will be stopped, but said that there will be changes to the route when a new schedule is introduced.

Peng said that any decision to stop the flights would be "purely business related".

Airlines usually have different flight schedules for summer and winter, and the changes are announced by the end of October.

Media reports said that China Eastern Airlines recently stopped its flights from Shanghai to Fukushima, and that its business outlets in Fukushima will also be closed by the end of October.

However, China Eastern told China Daily that the carrier stopped flights between Shanghai and Fukushima after last year's massive earthquake and that its outlets have been closed since then.

China Eastern - the main carrier operating China-Japan routes - postponed its new route between Shanghai and Sendai, which it had planned to open on Oct 18, due to lackluster demand.

Japan Airlines said that around 19,500 booked seats had been canceled on routes between China and Japan by Oct 4, and its main rival All Nippon Airways had 43,000 cancelations by Oct 1.
