China Eastern will launch flights between Qingdao and Fukuoka on October 27, 2024. The route will be operated daily as follows:

  • MU535 / Qingdao – Fukuoka / 10:20AM – 1:30PM
  • MU536 / Fukuoka – Qingdao / 2:30PM – 4:05PM

For the time being, the flights are bookable until the end of the 2024 winter schedule.

The airline plans to use Airbus A320 aircraft, which it operates with 158 seats including eight in business and 150 in economy class, on the route.

There is currently no non-stop service between the two cities.

That said, China Eastern already serves Tokyo Narita out of Qingdao, albeit only three times a week. Additionally, it offers multiple daily flights between Shanghai and Fukuoka.
