China Eastern Airlines announced the expansion of its flight network in Europe for summer 2025.
The announcement comes just as the airline launched a new direct route to the Swiss city of Geneva from its home hub in Shanghai.
The maiden flight on the new Shanghai-Geneva route took off from Shanghai Pudong International Airport on Monday, 16th June.
This new route flies four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays,and Saturdays; and also has the distinction of being the first-ever direct flight between the two cities run by a Chinese airline.
These flights are operated with the airline’s Airbus A350 and A330 units.
Other destinations
Aside from its new Shanghai-Geneva route, China Eastern’s new Shanghai-Copenhagen itinerary took off yesterday, 17th June.
Likewise, the new Shanghai-Milan route will spread its wings on Friday, 20th June.
The addition of the three new routes means China Eastern will be flying to 15 European destinations this season.
