On 17 July 2025, to mark the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Denmark, China Eastern Airlines inaugurated its new Shanghai–Copenhagen route with a grand ceremony at Copenhagen Airport. The launch includes three weekly flights—set to expand to four—and features a full-service experience aboard the Airbus A330-200, symbolizing a significant new “air bridge” between the two countries.
Flight MU707 received a festive welcome with a traditional water salute upon arrival at 19:00 local time. The exclusive inauguration ceremony was attended by dignitaries, including Chinese Ambassador H.E. Wang Xuefeng, who emphasized the flight’s role in enhancing cooperation, friendship, and commercial exchange. The route is expected to strengthen ties in business, tourism, culture, and trade.

This new connection complements broader diplomatic celebrations, reinforcing the enduring partnership between China and Denmark on this historic anniversary.
