potential that second tier cities offer.

In February 2018, nearly two thirds of passengers originating in Chengdu had to travel indirectly, typically either routing through Beijing or Guangzhou before travelling onto their final destinations, but by this February, that split had changed to 50% as airlines begin to offer more direct services from Chengdu.

In the last year, Chengdu has secured new services to Cairo, Copenhagen, London Heathrow, Istanbul, Rome and Tel Aviv.

This is all great news for passengers as the opening up of second tier air service markets means more choice and competitive fares. Overall at second tier airports, the ratio of passengers travelling indirectly is still high, at 71% in February 2019, meaning Chengdu is leading the way in serving international cities directly.
