Beijing Daxing Gains First European Gateway Amid Nordic-Asian Shifts
China Southern Airlines will resume direct flights between Beijing Daxing International Airport and Helsinki Airport at the end of March 2026, restoring a route removed five years ago. The carrier will operate three weekly Boeing 787-9 services, increasing to daily rotations by June 20. This marks a significant milestone for Beijing Daxing, its first nonstop destination in Northern Europe, and fills a geographic gap in China Southern’s European network. According to Finavia, this flight will be the first time China Southern Airlines operates to Helsinki Airport and the Nordics. The resumption was first reported by AeroTime.
