Despite the fact that the flight was delayed by a few minutes from the scheduled arrival time, the welcoming atmosphere at Luxembourg airport remained undiminished. On the tarmac, two fire trucks set up a "water gate" to greet the flight with the highest civil aviation etiquette "water gate ceremony".In the arrivals hall, Chinese Ambassador to Luxembourg Hua Ning greeted the airport staff and presented flowers and souvenirs for the first flight. In an interview with a reporter from China News Service, Lu Ruilang said with a smile, "It feels good to go home", saying that in the past, from China to Luxembourg, you could only transfer flights in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and other places, but now the direct flight route is open, saving several hours of flight time and making the journey more convenient.
According to the person in charge of the European marketing center of China Southern Airlines, which operates the route, this route is not only China's first direct passenger route to Luxembourg, but also the farthest intercontinental route undertaken by Luxembourg Airport so far, which will further extend the "Air Silk Road" between China and Luxembourg and help economic and trade exchanges and cultural exchanges between the two countries. After the inaugural flight, the Guangzhou-Zhengzhou-Luxembourg route was initially scheduled to operate weekly, with the outbound flight departing from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport every week Beijing time, departing from Zhengzhou after a stopover in Zhengzhou for an hour, and arriving at Luxembourg Airport at local time. The return flight departs from Luxembourg Airport every week, arrives in Zhengzhou every week, and arrives at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport on the same day. (ENDS).
The opening of this route will undoubtedly provide a more convenient mode of transportation for economic and trade exchanges and people-to-people exchanges between China and Luxembourg. So, what does this route mean for China and Luxembourg?
For China, the opening of this route will help to improve China's influence in Europe. As one of the most important countries in Europe, Luxembourg has extensive cooperation with China in the fields of economy, trade, investment and finance. Through this route, exchanges and cooperation between the two countries will be closer, which is conducive to promoting the development of bilateral relations.
For Luxembourg, the opening of this route will help attract more Chinese tourists and business people. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more Chinese choose to go abroad for tourism or business activities. The opening of this route will bring more Chinese tourists and business people to Luxembourg, which is conducive to promoting Luxembourg's tourism and economic development.
Finally, for the people of both countries, the opening of this route will provide them with more travel options. In the past, flights between China and Luxembourg had to make a connecting flight in the country, which not only took a long time, but also could face language communication. Now, the opening of this direct flight route will make travel between the people of the two countries more convenient, and is conducive to enhancing the friendship and understanding between the people of the two countries.
This direct passenger route from China to Luxembourg is undoubtedly an epoch-making event. It not only provides a convenient mode of transportation for economic and trade exchanges and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, but also lays the foundation for China's influence in Europe, Luxembourg's tourism and economic development, and the deepening of friendship between the two peoples. It is hoped that this route will play a greater role in the future and inject new vitality into the cooperation and development between China and Rwanda.
