Oh no not China again,
Read on here earlier this year that allegedly Hainan had contracts sorted for handling and fuel and were starting MAN imminently to Beijing.. although be be fair it was the Chancellor who started it all off .
Suggest everyone waits. I doubt anything is actually confirmed with Air China Hainan or anyone. So if either turn up next year will be a bonus !.
Meanwhile at BHX the chartered Hainan today was met by the transport secretary and had a 100% load factor.
Whether BHX can turn this into a full year round schedule is another matter perhaps.
We shall see what happens for our 2 regionals ..when it comes to China nothing is straight forward it seems..
