China Eastern Airlines flight will begin to serve no-stop route from Qingdao, a coastal city of Shandong province, to San Francisco, the United States of America, on Sept. 29, 2016.

The flight departs three times per week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Airbus's A330 will fly the route, which is the first no-stop passenger air route between these two cities.

China Eastern Airlines signed cooperative agreement this year with the coastal city to build it as one of the key regional hinge of air transportation.
