福建地区此前往返英国需经第三地中转,缺乏直飞世界级航空枢纽的航线。厦门作为福建重要城市,具备发展国际航线的条件。

中新网伦敦9月8日电 (记者 欧阳开宇)厦门航空9月7日在伦敦举行厦门至伦敦首航推介会,中国驻英国大使馆、英国旅游局、福建省和厦门市政府代表、中资机构、华侨华人代表以及希思罗机场相关人员等出席活动。

9月6日,厦门航空MF821航班从厦门高崎国际机场出发顺利抵达伦敦希思罗机场,标志着厦门至英国首都伦敦往返直飞航线正式开通。

厦门航空有关负责人表示,这是福建首条直达英国的客运航线,彻底改写福建与英国往来必须经第三地中转的现况,填补福建地区直飞英国世界级航空枢纽的空白,旅客可经伦敦便捷中转抵达欧洲多个城市。厦门航空将持续深化与欧洲航空公司及铁路运营商合作,为旅客提供更为便捷高效的中转服务,推动福建与欧洲在经贸投资、文化旅游等领域开展更广泛合作。

该航线自9月6日起进入常态化运营,每周三、五、日执飞。厦门-伦敦航班号为MF821/MF822,选用波音787宽体梦想客机执飞,厦门00:50起飞,06:35抵达伦敦希思罗机场;返程伦敦希思罗12:35起飞,次日07:00落地厦门(航班时刻均为当地时间),全程飞行时长约12小时。航线在时刻设计上充分兼顾中转衔接与出行体验。去程凌晨从厦门起飞,境内外旅客可充分依托厦航织就的航空网络,无论是悉尼、墨尔本、新加坡等海外城市,或是北京、上海、重庆、南京、杭州、长沙等国内主要城市,均可在前一日抵达厦门,经过短暂休整后衔接洲际航班。航班清晨落地伦敦希思罗,既便于商务旅客落地后开展商务洽谈、会议对接,也为需要继续前往丹麦、瑞典、爱尔兰等欧洲多国转机的旅客预留充足中转时间,极大降低长途出行的时间成本。返程中午从伦敦起飞,次日清晨抵达厦门,也方便归国旅客顺畅衔接国内后续航程,减少时差带来的旅途疲惫。

当前,中英经贸、文旅交流持续升温。福建作为著名侨乡,旅居英国的闽籍侨胞数量众多,同时不少福建学子赴英求学,闽英两地人员往来需求旺盛。伦敦是全球重要的金融、教育、旅游中心城市,也是中英人员往来、经贸合作与人文交流的重要枢纽。伦敦希思罗机场是全球最繁忙的航空枢纽之一,厦门-伦敦直飞航线的开通,将显著缩短两地人员往来的时间成本,进一步提升两地经贸人文交流的便利度,为福建对外开放注入新动能,为深化中英两国交流合作注入新活力。(完)
