Shenzhen is an important engine for the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. On the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, we hope  by seizing this important node, through the opening of direct flights between Shenzhen and Singapore, we will build an aviation bridge for passenger and cargo transportation between China and Singapore, and contribute to the economic growth of the two countries and the creation of employment opportunities."

The opening of flights between Shenzhen and Singapore is also an important step for us to restore and continue to expand the flight network between China and Singapore. We will continue to maintain active communication with the governments of the two countries to meet passenger and cargo needs. When resuming, the services of other terminals will be resumed in a safe and gradual manner. At present, we have adopted strong health and safety protection measures and a testing system to protect the safety of passengers and employees and gradually restore their confidence in air travel."
