Chinese students returning to studies in UK despite COVID-19

Hainan Airlines, Chongqing airport join hands to offer charter flights to England

Though still concerned about the COVID-19 situation in the United Kingdom, many Chinese students have begun to pack up and return to school.

Seventy-four Chinese students boarded a Hainan Airlines charter flight from Chongqing to Manchester, England, at 1 am on Monday to resume their overseas schooling, which had been disrupted by the coronavirus.

It was the first charter flight operated by a Chinese airline to carry Chinese students back to schools in a foreign country.
