On 22 July 2019, Capital Airlines and Xi'an Xianyang International Airport Co Ltd held a media and market promotion conference in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, announcing Capital Airlines' plans to launch Beijing - Xi'an -Lisbon flights on 30 August 2019.
On 30 August 2019, Capital Airlines flight JD429 departs from Beijing Capital for Lisbon via Xi'an Xianyang at 6.30 am, transits in Xi'an Xianyang at 8.55 am before leaving Xianyang for Lisbon at 12.10 pm and touching down in Lisbon at 7.05 pm local time on the same day.
At 10.55 pm on 30 August 2019, flight JD430 takes off from Lisbon for Xi'an, touches down in Xi'an Xianyang at 6.15 pm on 31 August 2019 before leaving Xianyang for Beijing Capital at 10.15 pm and arriving in Beijing at 12.20 am on 1 September 2019.
Capital Airlines' flights to Lisbon via Xi'an are operated by its Airbus A330 aircraft. Flights to Lisbon take place on Fridays, Sundays and Wednesdays.
According to Capital Airlines at the conference, the Beijing - Xi'an - Lisbon is the only long-haul route to Portugal from China. It replaces the Lisbon - Macau route that was cancelled by TAP Air Portugal many years ago due to insufficient passenger numbers.
Capital Airlines has flights from Beijing to Macau but it did not extend the flights from Macau to Lisbon. Industry observers however said that the Macau to Lisbon via Beijing route will have higher volume of passenger traffic than the Beijing - Xi'an - Lisbon although the latter route reduces flight duration between Portugal and China.
With the addition of the Beijing - Xi'an - Lisbon route, Capital Airlines is adding more flight capacity to Xi'an from Beijing, currently a domestic route served by its Airbus A319/A320 aircraft.
From 30 September 2019, Capital Airlines will move its Beijing international flight operations from Beijing Capital to Beijing Daxing. Currently, Capital Airlines operates international flights from Beijing Capital to Macau and Male, from Chengdu to Madrid, from Qingdao to London, Moscow, Sydney and Melbourne and from Hangzhou to Osaka Kansai, Naha, Shizuoka and Cam Ranh, as well as domestic flights to 41 China cities with a fleet of 89 aircraft including 21 A319-100, 33 A320-200, 5 A320neo, 19 A321-200, 7 A330-200 and 4 A330-300 jets.
