BHX have done brillantly to get China Southern last year and now Hainan this year and with a massive increase in the number of flight.
They have built great relationships with the airlines, the tour operators and tourist agencies and really raised the profile of BHX in China.
There is no doubt this will lead to a schedule service but probably not for a couple of years.
If Manchester are going to have a China service this year it needs to be announced in the next few weeks or I cannot see it happening.
