On July 10, 2024, Beijing Capital Airlines will resume flights between Hangzhou Airport in China’s Zhejiang Province and Shizuoka Airport. The flights will operate twice a week with the following schedule:

  • JD369 / Hangzhou – Shizuoka / 3:20PM – 7:00PM / Wed, Sat
  • JD370 / Shizuoka – Hangzhou / 8:00PM – 10:20PM / Wed, Sat

For the time being, flights up until the end of the current summer schedule (October 26, 2024) can be booked.

Capital Airlines will use its Airbus A320 aircraft on the route. Depending on whether the A320-200 or A320neo will be used, either 174 or 180 seats will be available per flight.

The airline launched the route on July 2, 2015. The originally twice-weekly service was increased to four times a week from October 26, 2015. From January 2 until March 13, 2016, it was reduced to three weekly rotations, and after the service was reduced back to twice weekly. Capital Airlines suspended the route on February 1, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Capital Airlines will be the only airline serving the route. That said, the airport has scheduled service to Shanghai operated three times a week by China Eastern Airlines.
