The number of flights and travel bookings between the two countries has evidently increased, as the 2024 Paris Olympic Games coincide with the 60th anniversary of establishing the Sino-French diplomatic ties.
From April 18 to July 17, a total of 1,245 direct flights were operated between the Chinese mainland and France, a 127 percent year-on-year increase, and the daily peak reached 18 flights to date this year, according to VariFlight, a China-based global aviation data intelligence service provider.
As of July 11, air ticket orders to Paris during the July 20-August 20 period were 2.3 times higher than the same period last year, according to data from the online travel service provider Qunar.
