China Eastern Airlines launches daily scheduled flights from Singapore to Shenyang via  Nanjing from 11 July 2016 to compete with Scoot's non-daily flights to Nanjing and Shenyang.

On 10 July 2016, the China Eastern Airbus A320 flight MU2827 departs from Shenyang for Singapore at 4.30 pm via Nanjing, transits in Nanjing at 7 pm for other Singapore-bound passengers to board before leaving Nanjing at 8.10 pm and arriving in Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 at 2 am on 11 July 2016.

On 11 July 2016, flight MU2828 leaves Changi Airport Terminal 3 for Shenyang via Nanjing at 3 am, transits in Nanjing at 7.20 am before embarking on the return journey to Shenyang at 8.10 am and touching down in Shenyang at 10.20 am.

China Eastern has been increasing the number of Chinese destinations that it flies to from Singapore since two years ago. Last year, it launched scheduled flight to Lanzhou via Kunming from Singapore. Although passengers now have more choices of Chinese destinations to fly to from Singapore, they should exercise prudence in selecting their desired flights.

China Eastern air fares are some of the exorbitant prices in the international travel market but they do not mean that their international flights and ground handling services are on par or better than the best Chinese airline XiamenAir. 

Lately, a Singaporean passenger complained online that her free online seat reservations were automatically cancelled by the Shanghai Head Office of China Eastern 72 hours prior to flight departure without reason although she had paid for more than one return ticket. She was further infuriated by the fact that the Singapore office of China Eastern cannot do anything to reinstate the seat reservations for her family members and her.
