Chinese airlines add multiple Osaka flights

Two Chinese airlines have unveiled plans to launch more flights to Osaka.

Shanghai-based Juneyao Airlines will add a second daily flight to the Japanese city’s Kansai International Airport from 29 March, direct from Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport.

And also from 29 March, Spring Airlines will launch four new routes to Osaka, from the Chinese cities of Chengdu, Zhengzhou, Xi’an and Quanzhou.

The services from Chengdu and Zhengzhou, the respective capitals of Sichuan and Henan province, will both operate four times a week, while flights from Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi province, and Quanzhou, in Fujian province, will both run three times a week.

Spring already connects Osaka with six Chinese cities: Shanghai, Chongqing, Wuhan, Qingdao, Lanzhou and Tianjin.
