Beijing Capital Airlines relaunched direct flights between Beijing Daxing International Airport and Lisbon on Monday. The route had been suspended, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its resumption signals increasing international travel. The service is currently scheduled to operate for approximately three months. This new connection aims to facilitate travel between China and Portugal, potentially boosting tourism and business ties. The airline anticipates demand for direct travel will support the temporary route, with possibilities for expansion depending on passenger numbers. This marks a step towards normalizing air travel patterns between the two countries.
