Aviation Health Travel Guide

One of the standout achievements of China Eastern Airlines is the “Aviation Health Travel Guide.” This comprehensive guide, developed in collaboration with Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, draws from the airline’s extensive case studies and the latest medical research in international civil aviation.

Its primary purpose is to offer invaluable health advice to passengers, thereby reducing the likelihood of in-flight medical emergencies.

The significance of this guide bears some relevance, especially in the post-pandemic world where health and safety have become paramount concerns for air travelers.

A Strategic Partnership for a Safer Sky


During the forum, a momentous occasion unfolded as China Eastern Airlines and Shanghai Ruijin Hospital signed a strategic cooperation agreement.

This agreement signifies a significant step towards establishing an air-ground emergency rescue platform and updating in-flight emergency medical equipment.

Such collaboration is poised to redefine the standards of safety and care in the aviation industry.

In his address, he reaffirmed China Eastern Airlines’ readiness to collaborate with global stakeholders in various aspects, including bilateral air rights expansion, smart aviation construction, and green and low-carbon development.

It is clear that China Eastern Airlines aims to play a pivotal role in contributing to global economic recovery.

Elevating Passenger Experience with “Aviation +”
