China Eastern Airlines will increase the number of direct flights between Shanghai and Toronto.

Currently, it operates one flight per week, but beginning November 13, the airline will offer four weekly flights with flight numbers MU207/MU208. The revised schedule will include flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays on Boeing 777-300ER.

The flights will facilitate communication and promote commerce and cultural exchanges between China and Canada.

It will also provide greater flexibility for travelers returning home to see family or conduct business.

With this addition, China Eastern currently operates four North American routes: Shanghai to San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto.
