After a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Air China has resumed its direct passenger service between Rome and Beijing. The airline will operate four round-trip flights every week, it said.
The route is operated by an Airbus A350-900 aircraft, between Rome's Fiumicino Airport and Beijing Capital International Airport every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Data released by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) shows that Italy received around 5.36 million Chinese tourists in 2019, making it one of the most visited European countries by Chinese tourists that year.
