China Eastern Airlines launched a new domestic service connecting Shanghai to Yiwu, a city internationally known for its wholesale and trade markets. The move is aimed at business travelers and entrepreneurs who regularly travel between the two cities for sourcing and logistics. The route also strengthens Yiwu’s integration into China’s wider aviation network, improving links to Shanghai’s global connections. Initial schedules include multiple weekly flights with narrow-body aircraft, and expansion may follow depending on demand. The launch underscores China Eastern’s focus on strengthening secondary city routes to capture domestic travel growth
