Dutch and Chinese airlines resumed their direct flights from Amsterdam to Beijing on Sunday after a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19 pandemic.
At a boarding gate at Schiphol Airport to a fully booked China Southern Airlines flight to Beijing, passengers were presented with colorful wooden tulip flowers as gifts to mark the memorable occasion.
The passengers departed from the Schiphol Airport at 8:40pm local time and were scheduled to arrive at Beijing Daxing International Airport after a 10-hour flight.
Wilco Sweijen, airline partnerships director at Schiphol Airport, said that it was the first time that the airport was having flight between Beijing Daxing and Amsterdam.
