Emirates has expanded its connectivity within the Chinese market by signing an interline agreement with Loong Air, giving its customers access to 22 additional destinations within China.
Under the agreement, travellers will be able to continue their journeys via Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong to multiple cities in eastern, northeastern, southern, central and southwestern China, on a single ticket and with a unified baggage policy, according to a press release published on the Emirates website.
The expansion includes key domestic destinations such as Zhengzhou, Changchun, Haikou, Xiangyang and Dazhou, strengthening links between the Emirates network and regional markets in China.
The airline has served mainland China since 2004 and currently operates 49 weekly flights to 5 major cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou, using Airbus A380, Airbus A350 and Boeing B777 aircraft. Last year, the airline launched flights to Shenzhen and Hangzhou and also reintroduced the Airbus A380 on the Shanghai route.
In addition to Loong Air, Emirates has partnership agreements with China Southern Airlines, Air China and Sichuan Airlines, broadening access within China through its 5 existing gateways.
