China Eastern assigns 150-200 aircraft to new Beijing airport
China Eastern Airlines plans to allocate 150-200 aircraft to Beijing’s new airport in Daxing, which is expected to open in 2019. The airport has not yet been named. The carrier said the aircraft would be a mix of narrowbodies and widebodies, which would operate on domestic Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan routes and international routes to America, Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia. China Eastern currently has no direct intercontinental long-haul service from Beijing. China Eastern will invest CNY13.2b (US$1.9b) in its infrastructure at the new airport in an effort to enhance its position in the Beijing market. China Eastern previously said it plans to designate Beijing’s new airport as its core strategic hub for the most profitable Beijing-Shanghai route. <br/>
