The Beijing – Geneva non-stop flights that Air China commenced on the 7th May has made Geneva, the world's second most liveable city, much more accessible to East Asia.
BEIJING – The Beijing – Geneva nonstop flights, CA861/862, are offered four times a week. The outbound flight departs from Beijing at 13:30 Beijing time and arrives in Geneva at 18:25 local time; the return flight departs from Geneva at 20:25 local time and arrives in Beijing at 12:55 the following day.
Before Air China commenced Beijing – Geneva rotations, Geneva had never been linked by nonstop flights with Beijing and even the entire East Asia, and thus Chinese travellers bound for Geneva had to make transfers elsewhere. Now, Air China’s Beijing-Geneva route spares passengers the trouble of having to make transfers and thusly tremendously cuts the time they have to spend on the whole journey. It also offers an additional flight option to travellers to and from Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Manila.
The opening of the nonstop service Beijing-Geneva has increased the number of European destinations served by Air China to 12. It’s a worthy addition to the carrier’s extensive network serving Frankfurt, Munich, Dusseldorf, and other European destinations.
As the “Capital of All Nations,” Geneva is where the world converges. Now, Geneva is home to over 200 leading international organizations, including, among others, the United Nations European headquarters, the International Labour Organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. The city is also home to the European headquarters of such leading multinational corporations as Procter & Gamble, Serono, and Firmenich and the world’s epicurean centre with its 1,100 restaurants.
