Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden recently convened in San Francisco, where President Xi emphasized the importance of bolstering humanistic exchanges between their countries. He proposed increasing direct flights, boosting tourism collaboration, expanding local interactions, strengthening educational ties, and promoting visits and communication among their citizens. In response, Hainan Airlines is diligently preparing to swiftly restore its China-US flight frequency to pre-pandemic levels. This initiative aims to facilitate convenient, high-quality, and safe air transportation services, thereby fostering cooperation across diverse sectors between China and the United States.
Hainan Airlines has resumed and inaugurated over 30 international and regional round-trip passenger routes departing from 10 cities: Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Haikou, Chongqing, Xi’an, Changsha, Taiyuan, Dalian, and Guangzhou.
