Air China to return to London Gatwick Airport

Flights to Beijing from London Gatwick Airport (LGW) will resume this week, with four flights per week to Beijing Capital International Airport from 1 April. Eventually, flights to Beijing from LGW will increase to daily services from 24 April. Flights have not run between these airports since early 2020. Stephanie Wear, VP Aviation Development, Gatwick Airport said: “We are delighted to welcome Air China back to London Gatwick, providing a vital connection between two of the world’s most influential capital cities. “China is the world’s second-largest economy, so by offering direct flights between London and Beijing, Gatwick is providing an important service to people and businesses across the Southeast. “It is also great news for tourism and hospitality across the region. Chinese visitors are traditionally high spenders so the return of regular flights will help support these sectors, which suffered so badly throughout the pandemic.”<br/>
