Notable cities on the list include Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle, San Francisco, Frankfurt, Paris, London, Rome, Milan, Moscow, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Addis Ababa.

It will also increase the frequency of 19 domestic routes with eight or more daily departures, focusing on cities such as Shenzhen, Beijing, Jieyang, Chengdu, Xi'an and Qingdao.
On the international front, Pudong will connect to 90 destinations, resuming services to St Petersburg and Novosibirsk in Russia and adding new routes to Athens and Riyadh.
