In 2025, a total of 92 international and regional passenger air routes were in operation through Hainan’s airports, including 37 newly added routes.

The route network covers several core regions such as Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Oceania, strengthening the ‘air bridges’ connecting the Hainan Free Trade Port to the world.
