On June 22nd, one of China major airlines, China Eastern, established at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Operating a direct route to one of the country\u2019s major hubs, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, three times a week, China Eastern will be an important addition to Stockholm Arlanda, further connecting Sweden with China.<\/p>\n
Mats Johannesson, President and CEO of Swedavia AB, says: \u201cInvesting in a direct route from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Shanghai is a clear sign of strong confidence in the Swedish air travel market. China Eastern will play an important role in connecting Sweden to China and other well-established markets in Asia.<\/p>\n
\u201cSwedavia\u2019s main goal is to increase connectivity, and China Eastern\u2019s large network facilitates people to meet, whether for business, tourism, or to visit family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
China is Sweden\u2019s largest trading partner in Asia, and Shanghai is the base for many major Swedish companies.<\/p>\n
The new route will also be of significant importance for the hospitality industry as well as high-value cargo benefiting from shorter and faster delivery times. Furthermore, the route will serve as an important connection to Greater China and Asia Pacific due to China Eastern\u2019s vast network.<\/p>\n
Haipin Liu, General Manager, China Eastern Airlines Europe Marketing Centre says: \u201cIt is a great honour for China Eastern Airlines to mark the resumption of non-stop flights between Stockholm Arlanda and Shanghai Pudong.<\/p>\n
Serving as a bridge linking Sweden and China together, this route embodies profound friendship between our two countries and a brand-new chapter in Sweden-China ties.\u201d<\/p>\n
China\u2019s current 30-day visa-free policy for Swedish citizens and 240- hour transit visa-free program will greatly facilitate travel, business and visits to China.<\/p>\n
Our direct service eliminates lengthy transfers, making travel between our two countries faster, easier and more comfortable.<\/p>\n
Starting on June 22, 2026, China Eastern will operate Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) \u2013 Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) three times a week, on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On June 22nd, one of China major airlines, China Eastern, established at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
