S7 Airlines Boosts Winter Links to Beijing

Posted 27/06/2011

Russian carrier S7 Airlines is to increase the frequency of its flights to Beijing from three Russian cities from the end of October.  The oneworld alliance member will double capacity from Khabarovsk with a second weekly flight and introduce two additional weekly rotations from Irkutsk and Novosibirsk this winter when compared to last year’s schedule.  The flights will all be operated using Airbus A320 Family Jets. 

Alongside these three routes, S7 Airlines also offers links to the Chinese capital from Krasnoyarsk and Vladivostok.  It is currently the largest carrier flying into Beijing Capital International Airport from Russia, although Aeroflot Russian Airlines, Air China and Hainan Airlines all offer more weekly seat capacity by operating widebody equipment on some of their services.

S7 Airlines competes directly with Hainan Airlines on the Irkutsk – Beijing and Novosibirsk – Beijing routes holding dominating52 per cent and 68 per cent shares of the 33,000 passenger and 40,000 passenger O&D traffic, respectively.  On the Khabarovsk – Beijing link it competes with Vladivostok Air.
