Hainan Airlines to relaunch Beijing-Cairo service
Hainan Airlines is aiming to return to the Africa/Middle East market with the relaunch of the Beijing-Cairo route in December, according to CAAC. The carrier plans to fly an Airbus A330 on the 3X-weekly service. The last time it operated this route was in 2012. The airline used to operate Beijing-Dubai-Khartoum (Sudan) and Beijing-Abu Dhabi-Luanda (Angola) service, but suspended the routes because of operating losses and the unstable political situation. However, Hainan Airlines still showed an interest in the Africa/Middle East market in 2012 when it launched Ghana’s Africa World Airlines (AWA), a joint venture with the China-Africa Development Fund, Ghana SAS Financial Group and Ghana Social Security and National Insurance Trust. <br/>
