Air China to Offer Direct Flights to Melbourne

The official carrier of the People’s Republic of China, Air China will offer direct service between Melbourne and Shenzhen on January 10, 2017, providing business travellers with another option connecting between the two major cities.

The new direct route will be operated by an Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which offers 28 lie-flat bed business class seats and 199 economy class seats with a generous seat pitch of 32″. The service CA767/768 will operate four times per week with evening departures on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

Air China is the only carrier flying from Australia to provide this direct service, and Shenzhen-bound passengers can connect to over 60 cities in China, Japan, and Europe.

Shenzhen, the fourth biggest city in China, is one of the country’s main economic centres. Next to Hong Kong, Shenzhen has the largest advanced manufacturing base in China and it is the headquarters of a number of technology giants. www.airchina.com
