Remarks: With the last 737 withdrawn from fleet & transferred to parent airline Hainan Airlines in January Hong Kong Airlines has since then become all-Airbus operator.
Remarks: B-LNJ was one of three RR-powered all-business class A332s Hong Kong Airlines acquired for the London Gatwick route. After the failure of HKG-LGW they abandoned the long-haul premium flying strategy & leased the three A330s to Hainan Airlines.
Remarks: With their finances in order, operations stabalised and expansion restrictions lifted by the government their future looks much more promising now than it did in the second half of 2012! I just can’t praise the new Hainan Air Group scheme enough. It’s a quality design that gives all planes a really posh look.
