Chengdu is a city that’s on the up – not only is it western China’s most developed city, it is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Visitors are also attracted by six local UNESCO World Heritage Sites which include the Giant Panda Research Base.
We’ve compiled an introductory guide to Chengdu’s air services to help World Routes delegates plan their journeys.

Travellers from the Middle East can easily connect with Etihad’s four weekly direct flights from Abu Dhabi. Qatar Airways operates direct flights from Doha three times a week.
Flying from the Americas
Americans can fly direct to Chengdu from San Francisco with United Airlines’ daily service. There are various one-stop options from the USA via Europe, the Middle East and Asia (please see above).
Chengdu represents a significant growth opportunity for the aviation industry, which is why 3,000 delegates from 300 airlines, 700 airports and 130 tourism authorities are expected to attend World Routes 2016.
