China Eastern Airlines will launch in December a new air route linking Shanghai and Buenos Aires, with a stopover in Auckland, New Zealand. It will be the first direct route between China and Argentina, operating twice a week with Boeing 777s. This southern pass is a faster, more convenient alternative to traditional routes through Europe or North America, it was explained.
The role of China Eastern Airlines carrying Chilean exports into the Asian giant was highlighted Monday in Beijing, on the opening day of the Chile Week event. China's share in Chile's forestry and livestock shipments rose from 13% in 2013 to 30% in 2023, it was also explained.
