On September 26, 2024, the first flight of MU785 "Shanghai Venice" carried nearly 230 inaugural passengers, departing from Shanghai Pudong International Airport and flying to the famous Italian tourist destination of Venice. This route is the first regular direct flight between China and Venice, Italy, bringing new options for travel during the upcoming National Day holiday. Former Italian Deputy Foreign Minister Laura Fincato expressed great excitement about the opening of this flight. She told reporters that she used to come to China two to three times a year, and the opening of direct flights could save at least half of the time.

Ms. Huang, a passenger, plans to travel with her friends in Europe for 12 days this time. The opening of this direct flight route has brought a lot of convenience to this journey. "And its takeoff and landing time is also quite good, because it happens to be in the morning, which can save us a day's time." Ms. Miao's husband is Italian, and the opening of the direct flight route can be considered a "dream come true" for the two of them who have the need to visit relatives. Ms. Miao told reporters that because they have to bring their children together, it is very inconvenient to travel when there is no direct flight route. After the opening of the direct flight route, she has plans to travel back and forth between the two places multiple times a year as a family.
