Hainan Airlines makes inroads into Three Gorges
|
| 25-Jun-2004 - |
Hainan Airlines, already involved in running Meilan Airport in Haikou, has paid US$40 million to buy the airport at Sanxia, which serves the Three Gorges dam. The airport on the Yangtze River serving the popular tourist site could become a key tourism destination when the dam behind the river fills, presenting an entirely new cruising industry on the vast lake. Hainan Airlines, China's fourth-largest airline, bought 90 per cent of the airport, and the municipal government of Yichang City owns the rest. The airline will modernise the airport, as part of the purchase agreement. Sanxia airport now handles flights from 20 domestic destinations. Annual capacity is 1.4 million passengers and it handled 300,000 last year. Hainan Airline wants to fly to Hong Kong and Japan and Europe and North America subsequently. |
