China Eastern Airlines has recently resumed international passenger flights between Ningbo, Zhejiang province and Osaka, Japan, after a four-year hiatus. The flights are initially scheduled to operate three times a week – on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

With the reintroduction of this service, complementing the existing flights by Spring Airlines on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, travelers are now able to enjoy service between Ningbo and Osaka six days a week.

The resumed flights are being operated using Airbus A320 aircraft, ensuring passengers a comfortable journey lasting approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The flight schedule is as follows: Flight MU2097 departs from Ningbo at 11:00 am Beijing time, arriving in Osaka at 2:30 pm local time. Subsequently, Flight MU2098 departs from Osaka at 3:30 pm local time, returning to Ningbo at 05:20 pm Beijing time.

Insiders have emphasized that the return of daily flights between Ningbo and Osaka will significantly enhance travel convenience for Ningbo passengers, especially those traveling for business or educational purposes in Japan. This strategic move is expected to provide passengers with a broader range of travel options and enhance their overall travel experience.
