Hebei Airlines will launch flights between Shijiazhuang and Osaka Kansai on December 25, 2024. The flights will operate four times a week as follows:
- NS3525 / Shijiazhuang – Osaka Kansai / 2:45PM – 7:00PM / Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun
- NS3526 / Osaka Kansai – Shijiazhuang / 8:00PM – 10:30PM / Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun
Hebei Airlines plans to use Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which it operates in two configurations: one with 186 economy class seats and one with eight business and 162 economy class seats.
While the airline was planning to launch the route in February 2020, it did not do so due to the pandemic. Osaka will be the airline’s first destination in Japan. The route will also be the only non-stop link between the two cities.
The only existing non-stop route between Shijiazhuang and Japan is Spring Airlines’ service to Tokyo Narita, which launched in April 2024.
