Summary
Flight-tracking data showed an Air China Cargo Boeing 747-4FTF making a round trip between Beijing and Pyongyang on Monday, a rare movement that points to possible summit preparations.
The aircraft departed Beijing Capital at about 9:40 a.m. KST and landed at Pyongyang's Sunan airport at 11:30 a.m., according to Flightradar24.
Air China Cargo is a subsidiary of China's flag carrier, giving the flight added significance amid reports that Xi Jinping could travel to North Korea soon.
Beijing has not confirmed any Xi trip, leaving the cargo flight as the clearest public sign yet of possible advance logistical planning for a Pyongyang visit.
