Dragonair and Air China increase Codeshare Services

Building on previous agreements, Dragonair is to operate codeshare services with Air China to two additional points in Mainland China, Hangzhou and Wuhan, from May 15. The agreement brings the number of routes on which the two airlines codeshare to seven.

“Our codeshare relationship with Air China continues to deepen, bringing the twin benefits of greater choice and increased accessibility to our customers,” said Chief Executive Officer Stanley Hui.

Dragonair operates three flights a day to Hangzhou and the number available to eligible passengers will rise to four with the addition of Air China’s services. Air China does not fly between Hong Kong and Wuhan, but the agreement will see it market Dragonair’s twice-weekly service to the city to its customer base.

“Air China has an extensive distribution network in the Mainland, making it easier for our passengers to buy tickets on the codeshare services,” Mr. Hui noted.

Dragonair currently has codeshare agreements with Air China on flights from Hong Kong to Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Dalian, and Tianjin. It also has a codeshare agreement with China Southern Airlines covering the Hong Kong-Guangzhou route.
