Melbourne secures new Shanghai flights
Melbourne Airport is getting a new air link to Shanghai.
One of China’s top privately-owned airlines will launch Shanghai flights to Melbourne starting in December.
Juneyao Airlines will operate three weekly flights to and from Melbourne Airport from 19 December, increasing to a peak season daily service for January and February.
The new flights will mark the Australia debut for Juneyao Airlines.
The airline’s flagship Boeing 787-9 will be operated on the route, featuring 324 seats, including 29 lie-flat business class seats.
This new route takes Chinese seat capacity above pre-pandemic levels for Melbourne Airport
It comes as Melbourne Airport marks a significant milestone in the upgrade of its international baggage handling system, with the arrival of more than $50 million worth of baggage conveyer systems.
The half-a-billion-dollar T2 Next project is replacing traditional baggage belts with a new tote-based system, allowing for real-time bag tracking.
Melbourne Airport CEO Lorie Argus said: “We are thrilled to welcome Juneyao Airlines to Melbourne. “
“Choosing Melbourne as their first Australian destination is an incredible vote of confidence in Victoria.”
