Hainan Airlines Begins Beijing-Manchester Service
Hainan Airlines announced the launch of new non-stop flights between Beijing, China, and Manchester, England. The carrier will operate the service four days a week, using Airbus A330-300 aircraft.
Flights are scheduled to depart Beijing at 1:45 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and arrive in Manchester at 6:05 a.m. Flights from Manchester to Beijing will depart at 12:25 p.m., also on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and arrive at 5:50 a.m. the next morning.
The route is the first non-stop between the two cities.
The new service follows other international routes the carrier has launched this year, including Changsha-Los Angeles and Beijing-Tel Aviv, and the airline plans to begin new Beijing-Calgary flights later this month.
