Air China targets French business travellers: new flights to Shanghai

Air China is extending its services from Paris with the launch of a new direct flight to Shanghai on 10 March 2012 and enhanced comfort on the Paris-Beijing route thanks to the delivery of a new Boeing.

Air China is strengthening its position on the French market, and will be linking Paris and Shanghai five times a week from 10 March. The flights, operated by A340, will be offered every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, departing Paris at 12:30 (arriving at 05:50+1) and returning at 00:15 (arriving at 06:40). Another sign of the airline's development in France is the introduction of a new wide-body Boeing B777-300 ER on the Paris-Beijing route from 10 March. The aircraft will be equipped with Air China's new classes: "Forbidden Pavilion", "Capital Pavilion" and economy class, with a fully reclining seat in business class.
