According to the latest data from Hainan Airport Group, from January 1 to March 21, 2025, the throughput of overseas passengers at Haikou Meilan, Sanya Phoenix, and Qionghai Boao airports exceeded 500000, with 4099 international and regional flights taking off and landing, an increase of 29.44% and 25.93% respectively compared to the same period in 2024. This growth benefited from the continuous expansion of China's visa free policy and the implementation of the visa free policy for the personnel of 59 countries in Hainan Free Trade Port, which provided more convenient travel conditions for international passengers.

To strengthen the "air bridge" connecting Hainan Free Trade Port with the world, Hainan Airport Group actively expands its international route network. Starting from March 22nd, Aeroflot has added three new routes from Russia to Hainan. In addition, Haikou Meilan Airport will open a direct flight from Haikou to Osaka on April 1st, and plans to launch Hainan's first direct flight to London on May 7th, with increased frequency of flights to Hong Kong, China and Bangkok, Thailand.

To enhance the service experience for international passengers, the three major airports in Hainan have established "one-stop comprehensive service centers" equipped with 45 language intelligent translation machines, achieving 100% support for overseas bank card payments by merchants. At the same time, airport car rental services have been comprehensively upgraded, with a total of 21 car rental companies settled in the three major airports and 2461 dedicated parking spaces set up, further facilitating passenger travel.

With the continuous improvement of the international airline network and service level, Hainan Free Trade Port is accelerating its construction into an international aviation hub facing the world, injecting new momentum into promoting the construction of an international tourism consumption center.
