Virgin secures traffic rights for Hong Kong, Beijing
Virgin Australia has secured the necessary traffic rights to mount flights to Beijing and Hong Kong from June 1 2017. IASC has approved the carrier’s request for 1,925 seats a week of capacity to China and 7 flights a week to Hong Kong. The determination, published June 17, was valid for 5 years. The daily flights to Beijing and Hong Kong would be operated with Airbus A330-200s as part of an alliance with China-based HNA Aviation, Virgin has said previously. However, the airline was yet to confirm which Australian city the two new services would be flown from. The IASC determination said the Australia-China route had grown by an average of 12% a year over the past 5 years, adding the route was “highly competitive”. <br/>
