China Eastern is taking off on a European adventure with the launch of two brand new nonstop routes to Italy this September.
This strategic expansion strengthens China Eastern’s foothold in Europe, offering travelers a world of possibilities when it comes to exploring the rich cultural tapestry of Italy.
Unveiling New Connections:
The exciting new services will whisk passengers away from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to the enchanting canals of Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) and from the historic city of Xi’an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) to the bustling heart of Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP).
With three flights operating weekly on each route, comfortable Airbus A330 aircraft ensure a relaxing and enjoyable travel experience.
A Bridge to the City of Canals:
For Venice, China Eastern’s arrival marks a momentous occasion.
The airline will be the first to offer scheduled service directly to this captivating city, allowing travelers to seamlessly experience its iconic landmarks and unforgettable atmosphere.
A Familiar Destination, Enhanced Service:
While Milan is not uncharted territory for China Eastern, these new flights solidify the carrier’s commitment to the Italian market.
Previously offered service was limited, but these new, regular flights provide a reliable connection for business and leisure travelers alike.
China’s Growing European Footprint:
China Eastern‘s expansion is part of a larger movement by Chinese airlines to bolster their European networks.
This surge in connectivity comes at a time when some European carriers are reducing service to China due to airspace restrictions.
A Leader in China-Europe Travel:
Excluding routes to Russia, Chinese airlines have already unveiled or announced an impressive 13 new European destinations in 2024.
This growth strategy positions China as a dominant force in facilitating travel between the two continents.
The China-Europe travel market is experiencing a powerful resurgence.
With capacity reaching 91% of pre-pandemic levels in July 2024, China Eastern’s strategic expansion is perfectly timed to meet the rising demand for air travel between these regions.
