The air transport route from Xiamen to Russia is a Boeing 767-300ER passenger aircraft of Russian Azul Airlines.

The Xiamen-Moscow passenger route launched by Russian Azul Airlines operates once every Friday, with flight numbers ZF1678 (to Xiamen) and ZF1679 (to Moscow). In terms of flight time, ZF1678, for example, took off from Vnukovo Airport at 17:30 local time in Moscow and arrived at Xiamen Gaoqi Airport at 8:05 Beijing time. After deducting the time difference, the total flight time was more than 9 hours.

This is Xiamen’s first regular direct flight to Russia and Xiamen’s second regular intercontinental passenger route to Europe after the Xiamen-Amsterdam route was opened in 2011. The opening of the route will set up a fast air bridge between Xiamen and Moscow, further promoting the construction of Xiamen into an international city.

In recent years, Xiamen has continued to contact a number of domestic and foreign airlines and conducted in-depth research on the route markets of Budapest, Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities. During in-depth discussions with Azul Airlines, both parties believed that relying on the increasingly close economic, trade and personnel exchanges between China and Russia, the Moscow route has great potential for development, especially since both cities have very rich tourism resources, import and export The product freight volume is also large, so the two parties hit it off and decided to open this route.

Things to note when flying

1. Arrive at the airport

It is best to arrive at the airport 1.5-2 hours before departure for the first time, so as to leave enough time. Check in at the designated time. Once you are familiar with it, you can arrange your arrival time according to your own needs. Some major domestic airports are divided into multiple terminals, and there is still a certain distance between the terminals, so decide in advance which terminal you will go to by car.

2. Ticket collection

The airline stipulates that check-in procedures will stop 30 minutes before departure, so you need to complete the procedures half an hour before departure and enter the waiting room to wait. If you have no checked baggage, you can swipe your ID card at the self-service ticket machine to print your boarding pass, and then go directly to the security check and enter the waiting room.

3. Check-in

Same as picking up a ticket, you need to find the counter corresponding to the airline to which the ticket belongs at the check-in place. Note that suitcases over 20 inches must be checked in. , not supported on airplanes.
