中国东方航空于2026年6月20日开通上海直飞阿德莱德航班，每周三班，使用空客A350-900执飞，服务持续至8月2日。该航线恢复自新冠疫情以来上海与南澳大利亚之间的首条直飞连接。
核心观点
China Eastern Airlines launched direct Shanghai Pudong (PVG) to Adelaide (ADL) flights on June 20, 2026, operating three times weekly on Airbus A350-900 aircraft through August 2, 2026. The seasonal service restores the first non-stop connection between Shanghai and South Australia since COVID-19 pandemic border closures, cutting travel time by several hours compared to one-stop routings.

航线变化
2026年6月20日，中国东方航空MU739航班于当地时间19:40从上海浦东国际机场起飞，正式开通疫情以来首条上海直飞阿德莱德航线。根据上海市人民政府于2026年3月确认的航线信息，该航班每周周一、周四和周六执飞。
该季节性服务自2026年6月20日至8月2日（上海出发日期）运行，使用空客A350-900执飞，每架次提供286个座位，涵盖商务舱和经济舱，来源为AeroRoutes。回程航班于次日从阿德莱德出发。
阿德莱德机场将这条航线描述为恢复了一条自疫情边境关闭以来长期缺失的“关键商务与旅游走廊”。南澳大利亚的旅游、葡萄酒和教育行业预计将因这条直连上海——中国最大城市和全球金融中心——的航线而显著受益。
该航线最早于2026年1月28日公布，当时东航开放售票；China Daily于2026年3月3日报道。6月20日的首航标志着这一季节性服务的启动，未来是否会成为定期季节性航线，将取决于市场需求和后续航季审批情况。
