Hainan Airlines launched its inaugural service between Shenzhen and Zurich.
The first non-stop service to connect China’s Guangzhou-Shenzhen area with Switzerland, it also represents Hainan Airline’s seventh intercontinental service originating at Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport.
The carrier will operate a Boeing B787 ‘Dreamliner’ on the new Zurich link, with two round-trip flights undertaken each week.

It has also launched a new Guangzhou to Tel Aviv link this year, while it is scheduled to launch a Shenzhen to Vienna service on October 20.
