Hainan Airlines boosts Beijing flights from Manchester
Northerners will once again be able to choose from four flights a week between Manchester and mainland China.
Hainan Airlines launched Beijing flights in 2016.
A single weekly flight resumed in August 2022 following Covid-related travel restrictions.
Due to demand, Hainan has now increased the service to four-times-a-week, from April.
Beijing flights operate from Manchester every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, all by the Airbus A330 aircraft.
Manchester Airport MD Chris Woodroofe said: “The economic benefits of more regular flights between Manchester and Beijing will be significant for trade, tourism or inward investment.
“Manchester’s Chinese community is part of the fabric of the city, and this increase in frequency will make it much easier for people to travel in both directions.”
“As the final international travel restrictions have been removed, it has been hugely exciting to see services like this return to full strength.”
According to the 2011 Census more than 13,500 Chinese residents live in Manchester, more than any city outside London.
