Scottish government officials are to raise the possibility of a direct air link with China with the UK Department for Transport (DfT).

The initiative follows the visit of Chinese vice premier Li Keqiang to the country earlier this month.

Increased cultural and tourism links were one of the central themes of the visit.

Presently, flights in and out of China to and from Scotland are via Heathrow Airport, London.
