Shanghai is no longer a first entry point for international flights to Beijing. The note posted on the website of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said that Chengdu, Changsha, Hefei and Lanzhou were added as new first entry points for the capital, with Wuhan added as a standby first entry point.
There are 16 entry points for Beijing, including Wuhan, CAAC said.
Flights between Wuhan and Beijing will resume on June 9, one round-trip flight per day from Wuhan Tianhe airport to Beijing Daxing International Airport, according to the Wuhan traffic authority.
The move came three days after Beijing announced the easing of restrictions on people from Hubei, including Wuhan, to enter the capital.
People from Hubei to Beijing do not need to take 14-day quarantine and only need to provide one negative nucleic acid test result after arriving, according to the new policy.

The CAAC said international passengers to Beijing can receive epidemic prevention and control checks and go through entry formalities at first entry points. They can continue to fly to Beijing after passing the check.
The CAAC noted that policies on first entry points for Beijing will be adjusted according to the epidemic situation.
All international flights to Beijing must first travel to one of designated Chinese cities so that passengers can undergo quarantine before they are allowed to enter the capital, to ensure no new cases broke out in Beijing.
