New direct route to Shanghai with China Eastern from Stockholm Arlanda Airport
The number of long-haul flights from Stockholm Arlanda Airport continues to grow as China Eastern launches the first direct route between Stockholm and Shanghai on June 16 this summer. There is high demand for non-stop service to and from China, both among business and leisure travellers. The route will also make it easier to continue on to other destinations in Asia from China Eastern’s Shanghai hub, Pudong Airport. China is an important trading partner for Sweden. In 2017, Swedish exports to China grew 27% compared to 2016 to 58.506 billion Swedish kronor while imports grew 7% to 59.
