China Eastern Airlines began operating from Velana International Airport's new Terminal 1, becoming the 30th airline at the terminal and the fourth Chinese carrier to do so. The inaugural arrival was welcomed with a ceremonial water salute and gifts for passengers on the first flights.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.

With China Eastern Airlines now integrated into Terminal 1, the number of airlines operating from the terminal has increased to 30.
