The number of international tourists entering Shanghai in a single day has exceeded 100,000 this week, and Shanghai's international flights are also increasing. Juneyao Airlines announced on June 19 that it will open a new direct flight from Shanghai Pudong to Brussels, Belgium on July 3.

Shangguan reporters noticed that this is the second airline to open flights to Brussels recently. The first is Hainan Airlines, which completed its maiden flight on June 18.

Interestingly, the two airlines have a tacit understanding in opening flights to Brussels. HNA has four flights per week, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, while Juneyao Airlines has one flight per week, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, which perfectly forms a pattern of one flight per day. Moreover, both airlines use Boeing 787-9 aircraft, with similar passenger capacity and services, and both can provide in-flight Internet access.

Cheng Xi, General Manager of Juneyao Airlines' Commercial Department, told Shangguan yesterday that the first flight from Shanghai to Brussels is expected to be nearly full and sales are very good. Juneyao Airlines will provide free transit hotel accommodation for passengers from other cities to Brussels via Shanghai.

Juneyao Airlines has been vigorously developing European routes this year, and has opened direct flights to Athens, Brussels on July 3, and Manchester on July 1. Previously, it has operated Shanghai Pudong-Helsinki, Zhengzhou-Helsinki, and Zhengzhou-Milan routes.

Hainan Airlines told the Shangguan reporter that Brussels is the headquarters of the European Union and NATO, known as the "Capital of Europe", and is the largest city in Belgium and the capital city. Passengers can quickly transfer to many cities in Europe, Africa, and North America via Brussels, and enjoy convenient services such as visa-free transit and direct baggage check-in at Brussels Airport. The resumption of the Shanghai Pudong-Brussels route will provide more convenient travel services for Chinese and European passengers, and further facilitate bilateral cultural exchanges and economic and trade exchanges.

HNA also operates direct flights from Beijing to Brussels, with one flight per day, and direct flights from Shenzhen to Brussels, every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

This year, Shanghai Pudong Airport has added or resumed new international destinations such as Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Brussels, Belgium, and plans to launch flights to Marseille, France, Manchester, England, and Kazan, Russia in the future.

This is the 66th episode of SHEN Quotations.
