Alitalia resumes China flights with new Beijing schedule
Alitalia will resume direct flights to China with a new 4X-weekly service to Beijing, starting July 2016. The carrier described the move as “one more step forward as [Alitalia] proceeds with its long-haul network development plan.” The Beijing schedule will use 250-seat Airbus A330 aircraft in a 3-class cabin, and will feature a newly renovated cabin layout as well as inflight Wi-Fi. The Beijing schedule will complement 2 other long-haul routes to be introduced by Alitalia this year—Santiago, Chile in May 2016, and Mexico City in June 2016. In Asia, the carrier presently flies daily services to Tokyo and Seoul. The airline cut its previous Beijing schedule in March 2013 when it was struggling to keep afloat despite a E500m (US$675.9m) bailout plan, partly funded by the Italian govt. <br/>
