AIR China launched direct flights from Chengdu to Frankfurt last month, allowing passengers easy connection to destinations within the Star Alliance network.
On May 19, the airline kickstarted thrice-weekly services on the route, operating flights on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays via the Airbus A330-200.
Frankfurt-bound flights take off at 01.30 and arrive at 06.10 the same day, while return flights leave Frankfurt at 14.00 and touch down in Chengdu at 05.40 the next day.
Frankfurt is home to Star Alliance’s headquarters and Air China’s Europe headquarters.
