BRUSSELS, Nov 22 – The new direct flight service connecting Brussels and Chongqing was officially inaugurated Saturday.
Hainan Airlines marked the occasion with a launch ceremony at Brussels Airport, where airline representatives and airport staff greeted passengers at the gate and presented commemorative gifts to those on the inaugural flight.
The HU470 departure was subsequently escorted by a ceremonial water salute salute from ground vehicles.
The event was attended by Li Yan, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim of the Chinese Embassy in Belgium, Counsellor Xie Yajing, alongside senior representatives from both Brussels Airport and Hainan Airlines.
Chongqing, a major hub in Western China, continues to expand its international flight network, maintaining direct connections with numerous cities across North America, Europe, and Asia.
In addition to its international routes, the city boasts a dense domestic network, facilitating seamless travel for passengers from across China transferring through Chongqing for international journeys.
As the capital of Belgium and a key European hub, Brussels hosts major EU institutions and NATO headquarters, solidifying its role as a pivotal node for travel and exchange between Europe and China.
The launch of this direct air link is expected to significantly enhance bilateral trade, economic cooperation, cultural interaction, and people-to-people exchanges.
