Emirates Loong Air Interline Agreement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The interline agreement between Emirates and Loong Air increases Emirates\u2019 operational reach within China by integrating Loong Air\u2019s domestic network into its booking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting immediately, passengers can connect to 22 cities operated by Loong Air via Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expanded network spans multiple economic regions, providing structured access to secondary and regional markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key domestic hubs accessible under the agreement include Zhengzhou, Changchun, Haikou, Xiangyang, and Dazhou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This structure unlocks convenient access to cities beyond Emirates\u2019 own network and supports both business and leisure demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership allows customers to book multi-airline itineraries under a single fare. Passengers benefit from one seamless baggage policy and consistent fare conditions across all segments of their journey. This alignment reduces transfer complexity and improves travel reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets are available through www.emirates.com<\/a>, online travel agencies, and all major global distribution systems via travel agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers booking through the official Emirates website can use online payment methods, including WeChat Pay and Alipay, reflecting local payment preferences in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates\u2019 Expanding Presence in Mainland China<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Loong Air agreement forms part of Emirates\u2019 ongoing commitment to the Chinese market. In the previous year, Emirates launched services to Shenzhen and Hangzhou, reinforcing its presence in major commercial centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline enhanced its onboard offering by deploying its award-winning Premium Economy cabin on these new routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates also brought back its iconic Airbus A380<\/a> service on Shanghai flights, increasing capacity and strengthening product consistency on one of its most significant Chinese routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates has operated in mainland China since 2004. The airline currently serves five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It operates 49 weekly flights using a fleet mix of Airbus A380s, Airbus A350s, and Boeing 777 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Loong Air, Emirates maintains partnerships with Air China (CA)<\/a>, China Southern Airlines (CZ)<\/a>, and Sichuan Airlines (3U)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through these agreements, Emirates offers customers access to more than 110 destinations in China beyond its own network, via its existing five gateways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
