China Eastern Airlines, a SkyTeam member, will launch a seasonal direct service between Perth and Shanghai Pudong International airport during the Chinese New Year festivities.
The nonstop Airbus A330-200 service will operate three times a week for four weeks, starting from January 20 to February 18, 2024.
Perth airport is excited about this service, as it allows Western Australians to experience Chinese New Year celebrations in Shanghai.
The service not only increases seat capacity during the busy holiday period but also helps revive the Chinese visitor market, which has seen a significant drop due to the impact of Covid-19. Perth airport aims to build a strong partnership with China Eastern Airlines and explore further opportunities with this important airline partner.
