Sydney Airport is poised to welcome its sixth new airline in 2015 with a new route by Hainan Airlines to Xi’an.
The twice-weekly seasonal service begins on 24 December until late March 2016, subject to government approval.
"We’re excited to be welcoming Hainan Airlines to Sydney in December, which will bring more Chinese tourists to Sydney and provide Sydneysiders with a direct flight to the home of the Terracotta Warriors," said Sydney Airport CEO Kerrie Mather.
"We continue to work to provide a positive visitor experience for our Chinese passengers, from Mandarin speaking Airport Ambassadors to our Chinese signage, website, apps and social media presence."
The service will be operated by 222-seat A330-200 aircraft .
Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres also hailed the announcement.
"China is NSW’s largest inbound tourism market with 526,000 Chinese visitors last financial year – an increase of 24% on the previous year. These visitors spent almost $2 billion in NSW and we look forward to welcoming even more international visitors to our great city and the regions over the summer," Ayres said.
