Air China wet-leases Two Airbus from Dragonair

Air China has signed an agreement with Dragonair that will see the Air China wet-lease two of its aircraft.

Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Stanley Hui signed the agreement, which covers the wet-lease of one A330 and one A320 for a period of two years, with Cai Jianjiang, Executive Director and Vice President of Air China, in Beijing last week.

Speaking after the signing ceremony, Mr. Hui said, “We’re very pleased to be enhancing our co-operation with Air China in this way. We already codeshare with Air China on seven routes, and this new agreement expands further links between our two airlines.

“We believe such co-operation benefits not only our airlines, but also travellers in and to the Mainland as well.”

The wet-lease agreement provides for each aircraft to be staffed by two cockpit crew and one senior purser from Dragonair. The aircraft will be operated on flights from Beijing to several cities, including Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
