On today’s Chinese New Year, Hainan Airlines has announced increased capacity on its new non-stop, four times a week service from Manchester to Beijing due to commence on 10th June 2016, thus offering a one-stop service from Dublin.
When the new route was announced on 23rd October 2015, Hainan said it would be operated by an Airbus 330-200, but the airline will now offer increased capacity with an Airbus 330-300 that will offer 292 seats, with 32 in Business Class and 260 in Economy Class.
The new route will be the first non-stop service between Manchester and Beijing and will be Hainan Airlines’ sixth international route following the launch of the Chongqing-Rome, Beijing-San Jose, Shanghai-Boston, Shanghai-Seattle and Beijing-Prague routes last year.
