Air China Boosts Capacity on Tianjin – Hong Kong

Posted 08/06/2011

Air China is to add three more weekly rotations on the Tianjin – Hong Kong route from July 1, increasing its schedule to ten flights per week.  These will be operated by a mix of Classic and Next-Generation 737 models.  The airline is currently the sole operator on the route, although Tianjin Airlines is planning to launch its own flights the same month that Air China boosts its frequency.  The regional carrier plans to offer a daily link using an Embraer 190 from July 15.

In the past year, an estimated 52,000 O&D passengers travelled on the route, a link that has seen a strengthening of yields in the past 12 months.  Like many markets there was a fall in average fares during the year ending March 2010 (down 3.8 per cent) but in the last 12 months these have recovered by 5.0 per cent to $293 each way, the highest they have been in the past five years.

Schedule:

CA103 TSN0835 – 1150HKG 733 D
CA193 TSN0940 – 1255HKG 733 357
CA104 HKG1250 – 1600TSN 733 D
