Spring Airlines already increased frequency on the Ningbo – Osaka route earlier this year from three to four weekly.

Spring Airlines will increase the frequncy of its Ningbo – Osaka Kansai flights to daily from October 27, 2024. Once the airline adds Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday frequencies to the existing four weekly, the route will operate as follows:

  • 9C6603 / Ningbo – Osaka Kansai / 4:10PM – 7:30PM
  • 9C6604 / Osaka Kansai – Ningbo / 8:30PM – 10:30PM

The airline will continue to use Airbus A320-200 aircraft, which it operates with between 174 and 186 seats depending on the configuration, on the route.

In addition to Spring Airlines, which expanded capacity on the route in March 2024 as well (three to four weekly), China Eastern also flies between the two cities. The full-service airline resumed the route on July 30, 2024, with three weekly flights.

Spring Airlines also serves Osaka non-stop from Dalian, Shanghai Pudong, and Shenyang. Separately, it operates one-stop Guiyang – Osaka via Shanghai route, which will be discontinued and replaced by one-stop Lanzhou – Osaka via Shaghai route in late October 2024.
