JAL to resume Nagoya Chubu – Shanghai Pudong route in March 2023

On March 31, 2024, JAL will resume flights between Nagoya Chubu and Shanghai Pudong for the first time in about four years. The flights will be operated five times a week using Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

The route, which was operated until the pandemic brought the travel industry to a halt in March 2020, will operate with the following schedule once resumed:

  • JL883 / Nagoya Chubu – Shanghai Pudong / 10:10AM – 12:00PM / Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun
  • JL884 /Shanghai Pudong – Nagoya Chubu / 2:00PM – 5:30PM / Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun

On each flight, JAL will offer 144 seats including 12 in business class (recliners in a 2-2 layout) and 132 in economy class.

With JAL currently operating flights from Nagoya to Tianjin (twice a week) and Honolulu (five times a week), Shanghai will be the airline’s third international destination out of Japan’s third most-populous metropolitan area.

The Nagoya Chubu – Shanghai Pudong route is already served by Air China, China Eastern Airlines, Juneyao Air, Shanghai Airlines, and Spring Airlines, which offer over 30 weekly frequencies.
