Hong Kong Airlines Postpones European Expansion
Hong Kong Airlines has postponed opening new routes to Istanbul and Paris Charles de Gaulle from Hong Kong this year and instead will focus on launching services to Tokyo Haneda on Oct. 31 and Taipei in November. HKA Chairman Yang Jianhong said the decision was owing to fleet expansion and he reiterated the carrier’s commitment to long-haul market expansion remained unchanged (ATW Daily News, June 16).
HKA opened its first route to Moscow at the end of June and is scheduled to launch Hong Kong–Istanbul service in April 2011. HKA ordered 15 A350s and 10 A330s at July's Farnborough Airshow to facilitate its long-haul market expansion (ATW Daily News, July 21). Yang revealed the aircraft would be mainly used for opening new routes to the US and Africa.
HKA operates a fleet of 11aircraft comprising five 737-800s, two A330-200s, three 737-300 freighters and one A330-200 freighter.
