SHENZHEN, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Shenzhen Baoan International Airport is resuming international flights on a large scale, following the resumption of the passenger routes linking China's major tech and financial hub Shenzhen and several European cities this year.
The route between Shenzhen and Rome officially restarted on Sunday, before which those from Shenzhen to London and Paris were resumed, according to the Shenzhen airport.
