China Southern to assign 250 aircraft to Beijing’s new airport by 2025
China Southern Airlines plans to assign 250 aircraft to Beijing’s new airport to operate more 900 daily flights by 2025 in an effort to enhance its position in the Beijing market. As early as 2011, the carrier signed a cooperation agreement with the Beijing govt to allocate 200 aircraft—Airbus A330s and A380s—to the airport over the next 10 years. The new airport—which broke ground earlier this week and is scheduled to open in 2019—is projected to handle 45m passengers in 2020, 72m in 2025, and 100m in the longer term. China Southern expects to invest CNY14.8b (US$2.3b) in the new 1.09m sq m Beijing airport. The carrier established a Beijing branch company in 2005. So far, China Southern has allocated 70 aircraft, including its 5 Airbus A380s for the Beijing market on 52 domestic and international routes. <br/>
