Air China resumes flights between China and South America
21-03-24
After a four-year hiatus, marked by the suspension of air operations due to the global pandemic outbreak in February 2020, Air China is leading the resurgence of direct flights between China and South America. This milestone represents not only the resumption of a critical connection but also a significant advance over other airlines, surpassing China Southern, which recently announced its intention to reactivate its service to Mexico City, although it has not yet begun marketing tickets.
With the opening of sales for the route linking Beijing-Capital Airport to São Paulo/Guarulhos Airport in Brazil, with an intermediate stop in Madrid, Spain, Air China establishes a strategic air bridge. As reported by Aviacionline, the resumption is scheduled for April 28, offering twice weekly flights, every Thursday and Sunday. These will be operated by a modern Boeing 787-9, designed to accommodate up to 293 travelers, optimizing comfort and efficiency on this transcontinental route.
