Spring Airlines will continue to use Airbus A320-200 aircraft on the route, which it operates with between 174 and 186 seats depending on the configuration.
The airline resumed flights between the two cities in early July 2024 and is the only one serving the route.
It also serves Osaka Kansai non-stop out of Dalian, Ningbo, Shanghai Pudong, and Shenyang. Additionally, it offers one-stop Lanzhou – Osaka via Shanghai flights that will be replaced by one-stop Guiyang – Osaka via Shanghai flights when the 2024 winter schedule comes into effect.
