5SEP26 | Dawn Express 晨曦快线 @EGLL | By Xiamen Air Virtual

Chase the light west, sleep through the night.
Wake to dawn over the Thames.
Dawn Express — sunrise arrives sooner.


Why This Route

Starting from September 6, Xiamen Air will open a round-trip route from Xiamen Gaoqi to London Heathrow, which is the first regular passenger route from Fujian to the United Kingdom. It will fill the gap of direct flights from Fujian to the important aviation hub in the UK. It is also the fourth intercontinental route from Fujian to Europe. Therefore, we would like to hold an event to celebrate this. We welcome all VA/VOs to participate.


This event will start at 1600Z on September 5, but in the real world, the flight is scheduled to depart at 1650Z that day. Considering the time zones of some regions, this event will last for 24 hours. We recommend that you join our group flight from Xiamen to London. Of course, you can also fly to Heathrow from anywhere in the world to celebrate the opening of the new route.
