HAIKOU, May 8 (Xinhua) — A new direct air route connecting Haikou, capital of south China’s Hainan Province, and London in the United Kingdom was launched on Wednesday.
The round trip routes will be operated by Hainan Airlines using a wide-body Boeing 787 aircraft once a week on Wednesdays.
Flight HU7911 will depart Haikou Meilan International Airport at 13:45 Beijing Time and arrive at London Heathrow Airport at 19:30 local time on the same day. The return flight HU7912 will depart London at 22:00 local time and arrive in Haikou at 16:55 Beijing Time on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Meilan Airport Authority also said it plans to increase the frequency of flights between Haikou and Kuala Lumpur, as well as between Haikou and Hong Kong SAR, to make the international and regional air network denser.
These efforts are aimed at accelerating the development of Meilan Airport into a regional aviation hub for the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, and promoting the establishment of an international tourism and consumption center on the island. -0-
