Air China will further reduce frequencies on its Sapporo/Chitose–Beijing/Capital route in Japan–China service.
Initially, the airline operated one round-trip per day on this route, and after announcing a reduction on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays from October 27 to December 8, it later extended the period through March 28, 2026. In addition, flights on Wednesdays will be suspended from December 24. The reason cited is aircraft rotation and utilization.
The route is operated with Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The scheduled flight time is 4 hours 50 minutes from Sapporo/Chitose to Beijing/Capital, and between 3 hours 25 minutes and 3 hours 35 minutes from Beijing/Capital to Sapporo/Chitose.
Air China is the only carrier operating this route.
