The Chinese Dragon roars in the UK :: Routesonline
2 interesting paragraphs in particular: (my emphasis in bold)
"The most notable is a first scheduled link into a regional UK city from China. Hainan Airlines will debut a four times weekly link between Beijing and Manchester from June 10, 2016
and we can reveal that it is set to expand to a more frequent operation from the start of next year to support strong demand".
Manchester is also expected to welcome a new direct link Into Shanghai from Air China,
although some final licensing issues are understood to have delayed its launch until late 2016 or even early 2017.
