Hainan Airlines to resume direct Edinburgh-China flights

Direct flights between Edinburgh and China are to resume this summer after almost four years.

Hainan Airlines will operate flights twice-weekly between Scotland’s busiest airport and Beijing from 26 June until 8 October.

The last direct service, also operated by Hainan Airlines, was cancelled in late 2019 due to the Covid pandemic.

Edinburgh Airport said it would be the only direct link between Scotland and China when the route starts next month.
