Loong Airlines will launch flights between Linyi and Tokyo Narita on December 16, 2024. The route will operate three times a week as follows:

  • GJ8287 / Linyi – Tokyo Narita / 9:55AM – 2:15PM / Mon, Wed, Fri
  • GJ8288 / Tokyo Narita – Linyi / 3:15PM – 6:25PM / Mon, Wed, Fri

The airline plans to use Airbus A320 aircraft on the route. The airline has both the A320-200 and A320neo, operating all of the former and most of the latter with 174 economy class seats on board.

Loong Airlines will be the only airline to fly non-stop between Linyi and Japan. That said, it already serves Tokyo Narita out of Wenzhou and Osaka Kansai out of Hangzhou.
