Pyrex Welcomes Xiamen Airlines to London Heathrow

Pyrex UK Ltd is pleased to support Xiamen Airlines following the launch of its new direct service between Xiamen and London Heathrow.

On 6 September 2026, Xiamen Airlines commenced its new service between Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport and London Heathrow Airport, marking an important addition to the airline’s international network and establishing a direct connection between Fujian Province and the United Kingdom.

Pyrex was delighted to welcome Xiamen Airlines on the arrival of its inaugural service at Heathrow and has been entrusted with providing aviation security services in support of the airline’s UK operation.

Supporting a New Operation at Heathrow

The commencement of a new airline operation requires close coordination between numerous teams and organisations across the airport environment.

For Pyrex, preparations centred on ensuring our teams were ready to support Xiamen Airlines from the outset, maintaining the professional and reliable standards expected by both the airline and the wider aviation industry.

The inaugural service represented the beginning of a new working relationship between Xiamen Airlines and Pyrex, with our colleagues supporting the operation at London Heathrow.

Connecting Xiamen and London

The new route provides a direct air connection between Xiamen and London, strengthening connectivity between China and the United Kingdom and providing passengers with another option for travel between the two countries.

For Pyrex, the addition of Xiamen Airlines to our portfolio represents another opportunity to support an international carrier operating at one of the world’s busiest aviation hubs.

Looking Ahead

We are delighted to welcome Xiamen Airlines to London Heathrow and look forward to developing our partnership as we continue to support its UK operation.

The successful commencement of the service is also a reflection of the work undertaken by our colleagues behind the scenes and on the ground to prepare for a new airline operation.

We would like to thank everyone involved in supporting the launch and extend our best wishes to the Xiamen Airlines team for the continued success of the new service.

Welcome to London, Xiamen Airlines.
