China Eastern Airlines will launch two new nonstop routes to Italy in September, including the carrier’s first flights to Venice.
Beginning Sept. 26, the airline will operate from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) and from Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP). Both routes will run three times a week using Airbus A330 aircraft.
Overall, there are some 1.8 million two-way seats available between China and Europe during July 2024, equivalent to 91% of 2019 levels, with Chinese carriers accounting for about 75% of the capacity.
