It follows the airline’s earlier exploration of AI-powered air travel services in the domestic market. In April 2026, CEAir launched an AI-powered air travel service with Alibaba’s Qwen, which marked an innovative industry-first collaboration between an airline and an integrated AI platform in the Chinese market.Taking digital innovation as a leverage, CEAir will continue expanding AI applications across air travel scenarios to make journeys smarter and more convenient for domestic and overseas passengers, the airline noted.View source version on businesswire.com: Company: China Eastern Airlines Website: http://www.ceair.com/ Contact: fangying TEL: 8621-62683320 Email: ceapr@ceair.com City: ShanghaiThis advertisement has not loaded yet.Notice for the Postmedia NetworkThis website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
