Hainan Airlines will increase its list of Flights to China from UK by operating flights twice a week from Scotland’s busiest airport to Beijing from June 26 to October 8.
The flights’ schedule is as follows:
| Route | Flight | Date of the flight to China |
| Edinburgh ——–> Beijing | Hainan Airlines HU408 | Mondays & Fridays (Starting June 26, 2023) |
The last direct service, also provided by Hainan Airlines, was canceled at the end of 2019 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Edinburgh Airport said it would be the only direct link between Scotland and China when the route starts next month.
The resumption of service is considered an important indicator of the attractiveness of Scotland to Chinese tourists and students.
