Additionally, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone (FTZ), one part of the Fujian FTZ established in 2014, has received sizable investment from overseas Chinese businessmen such as Chen. Fuzhou, as the capital of Fujian province, has attracted a total of 1.7 billion yuan in investment from the US through contract agreements that strive to develop a range of industries including in the manufacturing and internet technology sectors. The region has also seen increasing numbers of US-invested companies dedicated to biotechnology, investment consultancy, and optoelectronics.

This wide range of business connections will be strengthened and further facilitated by XiamenAir's new route by cutting the travel time between the two locations.

A reverse flight from New York will depart at the JFK International Airport in New York at 0:55 pm (local time).
