Shanghai Airlines to Fly Kunming – Dubai Service

Posted 22/06/2011

Chinese carrier Shanghai Airlines is to take over the operation of China Eastern Airlines’ flights between Kunming and Dubai from July 16.  At the same time the route will be reduced from a four times weekly schedule to a twice weekly operation. 

The route is currently flown by China Eastern Airlines using the Boeing 767-300ERs which belonged to its Yunnan division, but these are being retired from service and as such subsidiary Shanghai Airlines will use its own aircraft on the route.  To accommodate this alteration the flight will now originate and end its service in Shanghai.  China Eastern offers the sole non-stop link between Kunming and Dubai, carrying an estimated 18,000 O&D passengers during the past year. 

Schedule:

MU755 PVG1150 – 1510KMG1610 – 1900DXB 763 26
MU756 DXB2030 – 0630+1KMG0800+1 – 1100+1PVG 763 26
