Hong Kong Airlines gets aggressive on long-haul
Hong Kong Airlines is pushing ahead with its long-haul ambitions and targeting to launch non-stop services to San Francisco, New York, and London this year. This follows the launch of its daily Hong Kong-Los Angeles service last December, operated using Airbus A350-900s. The carrier says it expects to expand to a fleet of 50 aircraft by 2019, and that it is poised to take delivery of all 21 A350s by 2020. "These improvements will prove pivotal to the airline as it continues to transition into a global carrier with long-haul aspirations," states the airline. Last year, it also handled a record 7m passengers, representing a 10% year-on-year climb. Hong Kong Airlines has 35 aircraft in service. <br/>
