China
Eastern has stepped up efforts to newly open and resume international
routes.
Recently,
it launched the Beijing Daxing - Kuala Lumpur route and resumed the
Shanghai Pudong-Cairns, Australia route. It will also add 15 new
international routes, including a new Pudong-Perth route, and increase flight
frequencies between Pudong and Sydney, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and
Male routes.
During
the Spring Festival travel rush, CEA will increase its investment in Southeast
Asian island destinations to meet travel demand.
With
more flights to Southeast Asia, more passengers from Southeast Asian
countries are expected to travel to or transit through China during the
festival period.
Within
the 40 days of the Spring Festival travel rush, CEA plans to operate 2,322
round-trip flights between domestic airports and Singapore, Kuala
Lumpur, and Bangkok.
The
newly opened Beijing Daxing - Kuala Lumpur route is numbered
MU795/796, with 4 round-trip flights per week.
Currently,
CEA operates 4 routes to Kuala Lumpur - Shanghai Pudong to Kuala
Lumpur, Shanghai Pudong to Sabah, Hangzhou to Kuala Lumpur,
and Beijing Daxing to Kuala Lumpur. A total of 340 round-trip flights have
been planned for these routes during the Spring Festival travel rush this year.
CEA
will also open new direct routes from Kunming, Xi'an, Chengdu and
more to Kuala Lumpur.
In Singapore,
CEA operates 8 routes flying to Shanghai Pudong, Beijing Daxing, Nanjing, Hangzhou,
Kunming and more. In Thailand, the airline company flies directly to Shanghai,
Kunming, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an and 5 other
destinations. During the Spring Festival travel rush this year, the number of
flights will be increased to 66 per day.
In
addition to Southeast Asia, Australia has also become a popular
destination during the winter due to its pleasant climate. The newly resumed
direct flight route from Shanghai Pudong to Cairns, Australia, is the 9th
route operated by CEA between China and Australia. This seasonal route
will be in operation from Feb. 1 to Feb. 18, with flights available every
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
In Australia,
CEA operates flights to five destinations, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth,
