“The decision for the route enables a lively city partnership between Berlin and Beijing.”
Adding to this was Min Zhang, the General Manager of the Berlin Office for Hainan Airlines:
“We are pleased that we are once again able to offer our passengers a range of flights between our countries that is close to the level of the pre-pandemic year 2019.”
“Hainan Airlines is the bridge between the two capitals and also conveniently connects Berlin with many destinations in China and in Asia via Beijing, such as Tokyo and Bangkok.”
