　　Peng Yunfeng said that the direct flight between Macau and Qingdao was grounded in October last year due to the epidemic and resumed in early February this year. However, due to various reasons, only three flights were operated after the resumption.

Starting from that day, the route will resume flights in full every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The aircraft type is Airbus A320 with a total of 158 seats. The flight number from Qingdao to Macau is NX021, and the flight number from Macau to Qingdao is NX022.

Through the analysis of ticket reservations and sales, the number of passengers on this route is gradually increasing.

　　At present, the direct flight between Macau and Qingdao is the only route involving Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan that has fully resumed operation in Shandong Province.

The entry-exit administrative department of the Chinese public security organs has resumed processing of visas for mainland residents to travel to Macau (including group travel and individual travel).
