In step with the rapid recovery of the Chinese airline industry over the past six months, Air China is expanding its domestic and international networks and has beefed up service frequencies on several long-haul routes.
Air China, a member of the Star Alliance, has launched four new domestic routes and two new international routes, one between Beijing International Airport and Tokyo Haneda International Airport and the other between Hangzhou and Frankfurt. Air China launched the former route on October 25 and the latter route on October 27.
In addition, Air China has increased the frequency of its Beijing-Stockholm service, with an A330 departing from Beijing every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. The airline also is offering a daily flight between Beijing and Rome for the first time. Starting on December 20, Air China will resume its Beijing-Madrid-Sao Paulo service.

From December 14 to January 31, Air China will operate five Beijing-Sydney flights per week. From November 30 to February 27, it will operate five Beijing-Shanghai-Melbourne flights a week, departing every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
To accommodate increasing Cinese tourism interest in the Japanese market, Air China has added two daily flights between Beijing International Airport and Tokyo Haneda International Airport, a new Tokyo route, bringing its total daily flights between Beijing and Tokyo to five.
Meanwhile, domestically, Air China has launched daily Beijing-Daqing service; four-times-weekly Chengdu-Zhuhai service, departing every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday; and four-times-wekly Shenzhen-Dazhou service, operating every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
