Starting October 25, China's civil aviation sector will launch the new winter flight schedule. China Eastern Airlines (including its subsidiary China United Airlines) operates flights out of five airports in Anhui Province: Hefei, Fuyang, Bozhou, Wuxuan and Jiuhuashan, serving 39 destinations with a total of 47 routes. For this new season, China Eastern will continue to boost capacity in Anhui and further optimize its route network.

In the 2026 winter season, China Eastern plans an average of 60 daily departing flights from Anhui, including 54 daily flights originating in Hefei and around 11 daily flights operated by the domestically built C909 aircraft. Compared with the 2025 winter schedule, China Eastern has added new routes such as Hefei-Yuncheng, Hefei-Huizhou, Hefei-Liuzhou, Fuyang-Kunming, Changchun-Bozhou-Kunming, Wuxuan-Foshan and Daxing-Jiuhua-Foshan. It will also increase frequencies on routes from Hefei to Yantai, Taiyuan, Fuzhou and other destinations.

For international and regional routes, the Hefei-Hong Kong and Hefei-Macao services will maintain four flights per week. Hefei-Hong Kong flights operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, while Hefei-Macao flights run on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The Hefei-Singapore route offers three weekly flights, all rescheduled to depart Hefei at 09:00 on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Meanwhile, the “Yikexing” thoughtful service launched by China Eastern Airlines Anhui Branch is now available. Passengers without checked baggage on domestic flights can check in as late as 15 minutes before departure; the cut-off time has been shortened from the previous 30 minutes. Ground service staff provide dedicated guidance throughout the process to help late passengers catch their flights, while ensuring on-time aircraft closing.
