BEIJING – 19 November 2017: China’s Hainan Airlines will start direct flights from its base in Haikou, on Hainan island, to Sydney, Australia, from January 30, the official Xinhua news agency reported today.

The airline will fly an Airbus A330 on the new route twice a week, Xinhua said, adding the service was designed to meet increasing demand from tourists and business people.

It will be the first international route operated by Hainan Airlines from its home on the southern island province and the company’s seventh direct route to Australia, according to Xinhua.
