UAE & China Strengthen Ties with Emirates’ New Dubai–Shenzhen Route

Emirates Airline has further strengthened its foothold in China with the launch of a new daily flight service to Shenzhen (SZX), marking its fourth gateway in the mainland. The inaugural flight, EK328, arrived in Shenzhen on July 1, connecting the city with Dubai (DXB) and reinforcing Emirates’ growing East Asia strategy. This new addition is expected to foster increased travel and enhance trade relations between the UAE and China, linking two key economic hubs. Shenzhen, recognized as a center for technological innovation and industrial development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, now has direct access to Emirates’ global network. The new route expands the airline’s reach in China, complementing its services to other major cities like Beijing (PEK), Shanghai (PVG), and Guangzhou (CAN). With 42 weekly flights to these four cities, Emirates meets the growing demand for business and leisure travel while bolstering trade between China and the UAE. The new Shenzhen route not only highlights Emirates’ role in strengthening global market connections but also serves as a vital link between the UAE and China, reinforcing their growing bilateral ties.
