In the revised flight plans for this summer and autumn, Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport has 102 domestic passenger and freight navigation destinations, three more than in the same season of 2021 and four more than in the same season of 2019.

In order to help Qingdao become an international comprehensive transport hub city, the airport has increased its efforts to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and encourage the stable growth of the air transport industry.

Routes to Harbin, Dalian, Shenyang, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Taiyuan, Hefei, and Chengdu have all been increased. There have also been new routes established to Tongliao, Chizhou, and other cities.

The airport has gone to great lengths to provide a dedicated incoming route for flights from Macao and encourage the resumption of flights from Qingdao to Macao as soon as possible.

As the only route to Macao in Shandong province, the Qingdao-Macao air route is a shortcut channel to optimize the business environment between Qingdao and Macao. It plays an important role in promoting economic and trade exchanges, cultural exchanges and tourism services between the two cities. It is expected to resume around mid-April.
