With the touchdown of the CA862 flight at Geneva International Airport, China resumed the direct flights between Beijing and Geneva in Switzerland on Thursday after the optimization of the epidemic control measures.
“We are very happy to have Chinese people back in Geneva. Chinese tourists are very important to Switzerland,” said Claude Membrez, board member of the Geneva Tourism and Conventions Association.
Jean-Vital Domezon, president of Geneva Hotels Association, said they could not wait to welcome Chinese tourists back.
“We can’t wait to see the plane full and we are ready to greet them. This is really important for hotel business,” Domezon said.
Before the resumption of Air China’s Beijing-Geneva flight, there was no direct flight between China and Switzerland for nearly a year due to the epidemic.
The flight is scheduled to operate one-round trip per week and is expected to increase the frequency in the near future, said Ge Chen, Air China’s general manager for the market of Switzerland
