Hainan Airlines is all set to relaunch its services to Tel Aviv, Israel from Beijing from February 2023. The route was discontinued temporarily due to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The airline will resume twice daily services from Beijing International Airport to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on February 15, 2023.
The airline spokesperson said: “We are convinced that reopening the Beijing line, alongside COVID restrictions being gradually lifted, will get tourists and businessmen alike making the trips both from and to Israel. We soon hope to increase flights to Shenzen and Shanghai to handle aggregate demand and resume a pre-COVID schedule."
Hainan officially relaunched its services to Israel from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport in November 2022, after a gap of three years. Last month, the airline restarted flights from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Tel Aviv.
