Flag-carrier Air China released its 2025/26 winter-spring network on 25 October, covering 452 routes (325 domestic, 114 international, 13 cross-strait) and 195 cities in 46 countries. Notably, the airline’s indigenous C919 fleet will debut in Guangzhou, Xi’an and Changsha, deepening operational experience of China’s home-grown jet.
Domestic additions include first-ever Beijing–Panzhihua and Beijing–Xishuangbanna links—opening direct access to Yunnan’s tropical tourist belt—and a breadth of frequency upgrades that lift domestic seat capacity 15 % over last winter. Internationally, Air China is adding a Hangzhou–Hanoi service, extra flights to Seoul, Vladivostok and Ho Chi Minh City, and heavier schedules on North America red-eyes to facilitate same-day business connections.
The carrier says the expansion is calibrated to support China’s post-pandemic trade recovery and to provide more direct lift for multinational supply-chain managers eager to avoid multi-stop itineraries. For mobility teams, the new routes open fresh permanent-establishment options outside Beijing and Shanghai and provide more C919 flight options for staff keen to sample the quieter cabin and 2-3-2 seating.
Air China recommends passengers re-confirm terminal allocations because several Beijing Capital flights shift from T3 to T2 under the new roster.
