Inauguration Flight to Hefei by Hong Kong Airlines

2007 Dec 3

Effective from 2nd December, Hong Kong Airlines started its new service from Hong Kong to Hefei, the capital city of Anhui Province, with 2 flights per week operating on every Wednesday and Sunday. Hong Kong Airlines is the first “Hong Kong-based” airline company to offer direct services to Hefei, and travel-lovers will have one more choice for their destinations.

Hong Kong Airlines have invited guests from the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department, Airport Authority of Hong Kong, travel agents and airline companies to join our inauguration flight and ceremony. We were warmly welcomed by the Anhui Province and Hefei city government officials, local media and citizens. After the ceremony, our distinguished guests also visited famous sightseeing spots such as Huangshan Mountain and Hangzhou’s West Lake.

Hong Kong Airlines offers convenient tourist and trade links to Hefei by launching the direct flights. It will also provide opportunities for tourists and business partners to meet together, enjoying special events such as Anhui Food Festival. In 2006, this event has attracted over one million travellers to Hefei. In addition, Hefei is actively developing its city re-constructions, including new and high technology economic zones, new residential developments in the lake districts, new railway lines with high speed trains, new airport, etc. In addition, Hong Kong Airlines also brings citizens of Hefei to the vibrant international cities like Hong Kong.
