AIR China will commence four weekly Beijing-Geneva services using the Airbus A330-200 from May 7, 2013, becoming the first carrier to offer direct connections between the two cities.
The route will become East Asia’s first direct route to Geneva, offering an additional flight option to travellers to and from Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Manila.
Air China’s president, Cai Jianjiang, said: “The new Beijing-Geneva service is a worthy addition to Air China’s extensive network serving Europe.”
Using the flight numbers of CA861/862, the flight will leave Beijing at 13.30 and arrive at 18.25 in Geneva on the same day. The return flight will take off from Geneva at 20.25 and arrive at Beijing at 12.55 the following day.
