Xiamen Airlines currently operates around 350 domestic and international routes, which forms a network covering the entire China and with a strong presence in Southeast and Northeast Asia. In recent years, as new intercontinental routes to Amsterdam, Sydney, New York, Los Angeles, etc. were opened consecutively, our network has prospered and reached Europe, America and Oceania, and extended to all major destinations around the world via SkyTeam Alliance.
