M'han informat que Shenzhen Airline de la Xina obrirà vols directes entre Shenzhen i Barcelona, a partir de pròxim agost, amb 3 vols directes a la setmana. 🥰🥰
Although there are few specifics regarding this new service, it is expected to commence in August 2023 with a thrice-weekly frequency. Shenzhen Airlines currently operates only one long-haul aircraft, the Airbus A330-300.
After launching flights to London Heathrow (LHR) in 2018, this will be Shenzhen Airlines' second European destination.
Shenzhen Airlines is China's fifth-largest airline and a Star Alliance member. It now has a fleet of 200 aircraft, the majority of which are narrow-body aircraft that fly domestic routes. In addition to the London connection, the airline serves other overseas Asian destinations, including Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Bangkok, and Hanoi.
