Hainan Airlines to Launch Non-Stop Chengdu-New York Service

Hainan Airlines will launch a non-stop service between Chengdu and New York on October 26, 2017, offering another direct flight option connecting the capital of China’s Sichuan province and the popular American city.

Following the roll-out of the airline’s Chengdu-Los Angeles service, the new route will be Hainan Airlines’ second direct flight from Chengdu to North America. With the new service, customers of Hainan Airlines will be able to fly directly from Chengdu to both the East and West Coasts of the US.

The route will be serviced by a Boeing B787 Dreamliner with Business Class featuring lie-flat seating with an in-seat massage feature. Passengers in all classes will have access to premium onboard amenities and a gourmet selection of Western and Oriental meals. Hainan Airlines will provide travellers on the new route with a variety of all-inclusive travel packages and, for Business Class passengers, private limo service.

To date, Hainan Airlines has launched 12 direct routes from mainland China to eight destinations in North America, including Los Angeles, Chicago and Toronto. The new Chengdu-New York and Chongqing-New York services, to be launched in October, will give Hainan Airlines the distinction of being the Chinese carrier operating the most routes between the US and China.
