On the first day of the National Day holiday, Jieyang Chaoshan Airport kicked off its holiday service and support program with a lively and festive "Yingge Feast." The airport's employee Yingge team took the stage with powerful drumbeats and rhythmic footsteps, drawing travelers to stop and watch the vibrant folk performance and experience the unique charm of Yingge dance up close. On October 3, the airport's employee drum team will continue with a "Chinese Dragon" drum performance, delivering festive blessings to travelers.
It is reported that during the National Day holiday, Jieyang Chaoshan Airport is expected to handle over 230,000 passengers and guarantee 1,700 flight movements. October 7 will see the return-trip peak, with 35,000 passengers and 260 flights on that day. To meet travelers' holiday travel needs, Jieyang Chaoshan Airport coordinated with 8 airlines to add and increase frequencies on 17 routes, focusing on boosting flights to major hubs such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu, while adding or increasing frequencies to popular tourist destinations including Lhasa, Luzhou, and Guiyang. From Beijing's hutongs to Jieyang's ancient city, the north-south cultural charm echoes across regions, and demand for sightseeing travel continues to rise. The airport joined hands with China Southern Airlines to significantly upgrade wide-body capacity, with China Southern Airlines deploying the A330-300 aircraft for the first time on the CZ8867/8 Beijing Daxing=Jieyang route. This aircraft features 282 seats and, with its spacious and comfortable cabin, brings travelers a brand-new flying experience and "widens" the sense of happiness throughout the journey.
In addition, exclusive benefits for Chaoshan air-rail intermodal travel have been launched simultaneously. Travelers who purchase air-rail intermodal products through the China Southern Airlines app, mini-program, or designated agency channels can enjoy additional discounts on tickets departing from and arriving at Jieyang. The "flight + high-speed rail" combined travel model is more worry-free and more affordable. (All images in this article are provided by Jieyang Chaoshan Airport.)
