The Hangzhou-Qingdao-Vancouver route made its maiden flight in 2016. Over the years, it has served passengers from East China to study, visit relatives, business and tourists in Canada. It safely carried tens of thousands of passengers during its operation, and has become an important air link for cultural exchanges and economic and trade exchanges between China and Canada.

After many years, this classic route that carries the memories of travel between the two places has returned, continuing the "departing from Hangzhou and stopping in Qingdao" model, and is operated by Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft.

Hangzhou Airport has recently continued to strengthen its international route network. In the early morning of October 1, flight H9226 carried 154 passengers to Nepal, marking the official opening of the Hangzhou-Kathmandu direct flight. This is Zhejiang’s first direct flight to Nepal, and also enables Hangzhou Airport to achieve full coverage of routes in all regions of Asia for the first time. Currently, Hangzhou Airport has flights to 31 overseas destinations in Asia, including Singapore, Seoul, and Bangkok. (over)
