JAL and Hainan Airlines to launch new codeshare flight

Japan Airlines (JAL) and Hainan Airlines (HU) today announced plans to launch a new twice-weekly code share flight between Kansai International Airport, Osaka, and Haikou, Hainan Island, from October 31.

In November last year JAL and Hainan Airlines opened daily connection flights between Beijing and Hainan Airlines’ destinations of Chengdu, Chongqing and Xi’an, for the benefit of passengers flying to and from these cities from Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya via the Chinese capital. This service, the ‘’West China Express’’ offers connecting passengers smooth transfers, including the use of lounges.

Hainan Airlines will inaugurate the service from Kansai to Haikou from September 16 and the code share agreement with JAL will become effective from October 31.
