China Eastern Airlines has doubled the frequency of its Shanghai (Pudong)-Paris
(Charles de Gaulle) flights to twice daily for this summer season.
Effective June 30, the frequency hike represents a 50 per
cent increase in capacity for the carrier on the route, which is operated using
Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
A representative from China Eastern's sales department told TTG
Asia e-Daily that the frequency on the Shanghai-Paris route was boosted due to
burgeoning demand.

A representative from the Outbound Tourism Department of
China International Travel Service (CITS) confirmed the trend, saying that
outbound travel to Europe and the US was flourishing this year.
"So far, the number of Chinese customers to Europe for
our company has grown by 30 per cent over last year, while the number to the US has
increased by 50 per cent. We welcome airlines to open or increase flights
to these destinations to ease the shortage of flights," the CITS
representative said.
