Hong Kong Airlines is set to increase flights between Hong Kong and Tianjin to double daily from January 16, offering business travellers more flexibility when they fly to the metropolis in northeastern China.

Operating an all-economy class Airbus A320 aircraft, the outbound service, HX362, will depart Hong Kong at 20:45 and arrive at Tianjin at 23:55; while the return service, HX363, will leave Tianjin at 07:40 and arrive in Hong Kong at 10:40 the next day.

“Benefitting from the booming economic and cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and Tianjin, we see a significant increase in visitor volume which encourages us to further enhance the flight frequency to twice daily,” says Li Dianchun, commercial director of Hong Kong Airlines. “Passengers from Tianjin can make good use of Hong Kong Airlines’ comprehensive network and connect to various hot travel destinations, such as Gold Coast, Bali, Krabi and Taiwan, via Hong Kong’s aviation hub.”

Apart from the Tianjin route, Hong Kong Airlines also operates frequent daily flights from Hong Kong to Beijing, Hangzhou, Taipei, Bangkok, and Okinawa. www.hongkongairlines.com
