(Yicai Global) July 4 -- More Chinese carriers have started flying along the country’s busiest trunk route between Shanghai and Beijing again this month and several are increasing the number of flights in a real sign that life and work are getting back to normal after the recent resurgence of Covid-19 in the country.

There were 32 flights from Shanghai to Beijing and 23 from Beijing to Shanghai today, Xinmin Evening News reported. During the height of the Shanghai outbreak, there was only one flight a day between the two metropolises.

The Beijing-Shanghai route is one of the busiest routes in the world, industry insiders said. Most travel is for business purposes, bringing a large number of passengers and high revenue to the airlines.

Shanghai authorities are supporting the full recovery of the civil aviation sector, the report said. China Eastern increased the number of flights between Beijing and Shanghai to 11 today from seven yesterday. And other airlines, including China Southern Airlines, Air China and Junyao Airlines also started flying between Beijing and Shanghai again over the weekend, it added.
