China Eastern establishes Xinjiang branch to elevate regional aviation hub

As early as 1994, China Eastern established an Urumqi business office. Today, the airline's network connects the autonomous region's 13 airports to major hub cities across the country.

In addition to the improved frequency of flights between Shanghai and Urumqi, China Eastern is poised to establish an operational base in Yining, and a business office in Kashgar, while exploring the possibility of launching international flights to Central and West Asia via Xinjiang.
