On July 10, 2024, Beijing Capital Airlines operated its first scheduled flight between Hangzhou and Shizuoka since suspending the route in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Going forward, the route will operate twice a week as follows:
- JD369 / Hangzhou – Shizuoka / 3:20PM – 7:00PM / Wed, Sat
- JD370 / Shizuoka – Hangzhou / 8:00PM – 10:20PM / Wed, Sat
For the time being, flights up to October 26,2024, i.e., the end of the 2024 summer schedule, can be booked.
On the first roundtrip, which operated about an hour behind schedule, Capital Airlines used an Airbus A320neo registered B-1248. It remains to be seen whether the airline will use its 180-seater A320neos or 174-seater A320-200s on the route going forward.
Prior to suspending the route on February 1, 2020, due to the pandemic, Capital Airlines operated the route twice a week. Between the route’s launch on July 2, 2015, and the suspension in 2020, it operated the route up to four times a week depending on the time period.
In addition to Capital Airlines, which is the only airline offering Hangzhou – Shizuoka flights, China Eastern Airlines serves Shizuoka out of Shanghai Pudong.
