China’s Juneyao Airlines to begin Cairo-Shanghai services
Juneyao Airlines will begin flying to Cairo late this year as part of its move into long-haul operations, according to an application submitted to the CAAC. The airline plans to fly 4X-weekly between Cairo and its hometown, Shanghai, and twice-weekly between Cairo and Xi’an with an extension to Shanghai. Juneyao will presumably use Boeing 787-9s, of which it has ordered 5. The proposed services will begin in November, the CAAC said. The agency usually approves services proposed by Chinese airlines if no others are serving the subject routes. In this case, no airline of any nationality is connecting Cairo with Shanghai or Xi’an. Juneyao’s first long-haul service, between Shanghai and Helsinki, is scheduled to start this year. The first 787-9 for Juneyao arrived in October. Three have been delivered. <br/>
