Qantas has announced that it would grow its China network, with daily China Eastern codeshare flights between Shanghai and Chengdu and Xi’an.
Qantas Group General Manager Sales and Distribution, Mr Rob Gurney, said China was an important market for Qantas.
“Growth in both business and leisure travel sees us currently operating 10 flights per week between Australia and China – seven to Shanghai and three to Beijing,” Mr Gurney said.
“To complement these Qantas-operated services, daily onward connections from Shanghai will now be available with China Eastern to both Chengdu and Xi’an.”
Xi’an, located in the Yellow River Basin, is known as the Eternal City and is home to the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Chengdu, located in the west of the Sichuan Basin is the capital of what is known as the ‘Heavenly State’, the habitat of giant pandas.
Qantas also offers connections to the Chinese mainland from Hong Kong, with 31 return flights a week to Hong Kong from Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
