The 9th Asian Winter Games officially kicked off on February 7
in Harbin, China. As an official partner of the event, China
Eastern Airlines (CEA) is teaming up with Winter Olympic champion
Xu Mengtao and CEA’s brand ambassador Hu Ge, and the airline is
inviting global travelers to experience the excitement and beauty
of winter sports at this spectacular international event.
To support the Asian Winter Games, CEA has established seven
arrivals and departures centers at six major airports across China,
providing seamless ground services for passengers.
At Harbin Taiping International Airport, its dedicated Asian
Winter Games service desk has handled over 100 flights and welcomed
delegations from more than 30 countries.
Currently, CEA operates 30 routes in Harbin, connecting the city
with major domestic hubs such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou,
Chengdu, Xi'an, and Kunming, as well as international destinations
including Tokyo, Seoul, and Bangkok. The airline runs nearly 80
flights per day in and out of Harbin.
Passengers can check in at the airport counter decorated with
Asian Winter Games elements, receive CEA's commemorative boarding
pass, board the "Asian Winter Games" themed painted planes, taste
Harbin red sausage, Northeast clear noodles and other in-flight
meals, and receive an Asian Winter Games souvenir.
Beyond the airport, CEA’s presence can be seen throughout
Harbin, blending seamlessly into the city's vibrant "Ice City"
atmosphere. At the world-famous Harbin Ice and Snow World, visitors
have been drawn to stunning ice sculptures of CEA’s C919 jetliner
and Shanghai’s iconic skyline, making them popular spots for photos
and social media moments.
Since February 4, CEA has been handling more than 13,000
passenger arrivals and departures in Harbin daily. Demand for
flights has surged, with routes to Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu
consistently exceeding a 90 percent passenger load factor.
To enhance the travel experience, CEA offers a one-stop,
full-process service covering check-in assistance, flight
transfers, baggage claim, and rebooking services.
With China’s visa-free and streamlined visa policies making
international travel easier, CEA is not just bringing the world to
Harbin - it’s also spreading the energy and excitement of the Asian
Winter Games to global departure points through its expanding
flight network.
