Hainan Airlines is resuming its direct service to Toronto after a long hiatus, marking a significant return of direct flights between China and Canada. As the only Chinese carrier offering a direct route to Beijing, Hainan will operate one weekly flight on Sundays, providing more direct access for both leisure and business travelers.
China Southern and China Eastern are also increasing their flight frequencies to Toronto. China Southern now offers direct flights between Toronto and Guangzhou four times weekly. China Eastern will operate four weekly flights between Toronto and Shanghai. Whether it’s Beijing, Guangzhou or Shanghai, these returning routes and increased flight frequencies make it easier than ever for travellers to fly directly to their destination.
Strengthening Canada-China Connectivity
These routes from Hainan, China Southern and China Eastern offer a greater ease of travel between Canada and China, reducing the reliance on connecting itineraries. This expanded air connectivity is an important step in supporting business, tourism, and cultural exchanges between our two countries.
With Toronto Pearson serving as a key gateway to China, this expansion reinforces our position as an international hub for travelers. For those planning a trip to China, now is the perfect time to book your flight and take advantage of these new and increased direct routes.
