One of Chinas major airlines, China Eastern, is returning to Stockholm Arlanda Airport in June 2026, with a new direct route to one of the country\u2019s major hubs, Shanghai Pudong International Airport.<\/p>\n
China Eastern will be an important addition to Stockholm Arlanda, connecting the Swedish capital with Shanghai, Chinas financial and commercial hub.<\/p>\n
Elizabeth Axtelius, Director Aviation Business at Swedavia, says: \u201cThere is great confidence in the Swedish air travel market and China Eastern\u2019s investment in a direct route from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Shanghai is a clear sign of this.<\/p>\n
\u201cChina 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 the connectivity and facilitate people to meet, whether it is for business, leisure, or to visit family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shanghai is China\u2019s largest city, a global financial and commercial hub and home to one of the world\u2019s busiest ports. 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 the Greater China and Asia Pacific due to China Eastern\u2019s vast network.<\/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":"One of Chinas major airlines, China Eastern, is returning to Stockholm Arlanda Airport in June 2026, with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34108,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[83],"tags":[19868,19869,19870,19871,131,18661,132],"class_list":{"0":"post-34107","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-stockholm","8":"tag-china-eastern","9":"tag-elizabeth-axtelius","10":"tag-shanghai","11":"tag-shanghai-pudong-international-airport","12":"tag-stockholm","13":"tag-stockholm-arlanda-airport","14":"tag-sweden"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116181793799853006","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
