Hong Kong Express opens up China regions
HONG KONG: Hong Kong Express has launched a direct scheduled service between Hong Kong and Xian, the capital of China’s Shaanxi province.
The new route will initially be served by flights operating every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday with additional flight frequencies added later in the year.
Xian is Hong Kong Express Airways’ sixth destination in Asia and the fifth in the airline’s fast growing mainland China route network.
Xian, home to China’s famed terracotta warriors, is located almost three hours from Hong Kong in central China adjacent to Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan and Gansu Provinces, and Ningxia and lnnerMongolia autonomous regions, making it the principal gateway to China’s burgeoning north and south western regions.
The Xian launch is Hong Kong Express Airways’ first since it unveiled its new look in late January – timed to coincide with the arrival of its first Boeing 737 aircraft.
The airline plans to take delivery of a further five B737s by the end of 2007 in line with planned increases in capacity on selected routes and the addition of further destinations to its network.
