Air China will launch non-stop A330-200 flights between Beijing and Brisbane, Australia from 11 December, 2017. 

 

Brisbane offers easy access to the Gold Coast, a section of coastline famous for its pristine sandy beaches.

It also offers regular flights to the Whitsunday Islands in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, where visitors can explore world-famous sights including Heart Reef and Whitehaven Beach. 

In recent years, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Australia has seen double-digit growth; two-way tourist flows between the two countries totalled two million trips in 2016. Furthermore, from August 2016 through July 2017, there were almost 300,000 journeys between Chinese cities and Brisbane alone, recording year-on-year growth of 9.5 per cent.


Air China already operates direct flights from Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu to Sydney and Melbourne, and the addition of the Beijing - Brisbane route will bring the total number of weekly flights between China and Australia to almost 40.
