Air China, the nation's flag-carrier, will launch the first direct flight linking Bangalore, India's "Silicon Valley" and the booming southwestern IT city of Chengdu to promote mutual exchanges in the software industry.

China's largest carrier plans to use an Airbus A319 or Boeing 757 to connect Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province with Bangalore, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, company sources said.
Return flights to Chengdu will be on Thursdays and Sundays. Xinhua news agency reported.
The report noted that Bangalore produces a third of India's IT industry value, or USD 62 billion expected for 2009.
Chengdu is striving to make itself a regional base of software industry with its fast development in software outsourcing and hardware production. Major global IT players like Intel and Foxconn had opened factories in the city.
Last month, Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro Limited opened its global delivery centre at Chengdu to provide IT & BPO services to its customers.
