As the summer travel season approaches, Nanjing Lukou International Airport is set to launch new flights to Melbourne on June 28 and to Kuala Lumpur on June 30, operated respectively by China Eastern Airlines and Firefly Airlines Malaysia.

During this summer, airlines are planning to increase their flights to Osaka and Bangkok, and introduce a new route to Yangyang in South Korea. Routes to Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City are also expected to open in this year. Meanwhile, the Eastern Airports Group, headquartered in Nanjing, is actively engaging with airlines to initiate a passenger service to Dubai as soon as possible.
