It has been widely reported that tens of millions of Chinese are desperate to travel internationally again. Not just for tourism. Student and family reunions. All the Chinese carriers in past few weeks have been ramping up route frequencies and re-starting others. A direct service will also surely perform better? We also don’t know for sure how long the tour operators in China have known about the resumption. Credit to EDI management for securing this.
