Hainan Airlines

[Bob Hawke]

Does anyone have information on Hainan Airlines regarding employment. It seems they are on a big expansion drive, would this include drivers? How does this effect the operations of Dragonair?

Do they have a home page link?

Thanks in advance.

Only thing that I know is that George Soros (the man who broke the bank at Threadneedle Street) took a 25% (I believe) stake in this airline a couple of years ago.

Reported on CNN this morning, they are gearing up for massive expansion, of routes and fleet. Soros name was mentioned a number of times, and also the CEO was interviewed about the future trends for "regional" airlines in China. Interesting report. Intersesting investor. Tell me, does Soros also have investment interests in Dornier Fairchild as well?
