Hainan Airlines subsidiary Beijing Capital Airlines launched a non-stop service between London (LHR) and Qingdao (TAO) Nov. 17.
The new Airbus A330 twin-aisle wide-body aircraft operates the route twice a week on Monday and Friday.
This marks the second Qingdao service launched this fall following the airline’s Sydney (SYD)–Qingdao route launched Oct. 30.
Currently, passengers flying from Qingdao to London need to transfer in Beijing (PEK), Shanghai (PVG), Guangzhou (CAN) or Hong Kong (HKG). The new service is the first non-stop flight between the two cities, saving passengers time in transit and eliminating the need to switch aircraft.
The airline will also launch new European service, including Copenhagen (CPH) and Helsinki (HEL), in 2018. Both flights will operate three times weekly beginning March 27, and May 30, 2018, respectively.

May 27, 2025Plan a Legendary Gathering in Honolulu
Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.
