China Eastern Airlines, one of the country's three major carriers, has joined the Universal Air Travel Plan (UATP) to give its passengers easy payment options and other air services.
China Eastern is the first airline in the Chinese mainland to accept payment by UATP cards, which allow customers to pay for air services such as overweight luggage, telephone calls in the air, duty-free commodity purchasing and railway tickets in the United States.
Established in 1936, UATP is a global air travel payment system owned and operated by nearly 30 airlines. UATP cards are accepted by some 100 airlines around the world.
China Eastern's membership in the UATP is expected to mostly benefit foreigners traveling to and from China.
