During the summer season, the international routes of Shenzhen Bao'an Airport continue to expand. On July 1st, Emirates Flight EK328 made its first landing in Shenzhen, opening a daily direct flight route between Shenzhen and Dubai. This is its fourth direct flight route in mainland China, which can radiate to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

In addition, Cambodian National Airlines and Maldivian Airlines will also open routes to Shenzhen in July, and Shenzhen Airport is expected to have over 50 international and regional passenger destinations by then. With the increasing popularity of outbound and inbound tourism, coupled with relaxed entry policies and consumer stimulation, foreign airlines are accelerating their layout in the Chinese market. Shenzhen Airport stated that it is in talks with more foreign airlines to add new routes and further expand its international network.
