China's Tianjin Airlines to expand long-haul fleet
Tianjin Airlines plans to expand its long-haul Airbus A330 fleet to 10 aircraft as it accelerates its international expansion pace. Airline president Liu Lu said the carrier plans to open more international routes to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, Melbourne, Auckland and other European cities over the next five years. The Tianjin-based carrier operates one A330 and is expected to introduce two more A330s this year. Launched in 2009, Tianjin is formerly a regional carrier that operated only Embraer E190s and E195s. In 2011, it introduced A320s on trunk routes to slow operating losses. The airline operates a fleet of nearly 90 aircraft on more than 160 domestic routes and 15 international routes. <br/>
