Tianjin Airlines has become the latest Chinese airline to announce plans to expand its Australian network, following in the footsteps of China Eastern Airlines and Sichuan Airlines.
The carrier, which is part of the Hainan Airlines Group, intends to double service to Sydney from late November with the introduction of a new route from Chongqing in southwestern China. Flights between Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CGK) and Sydney Airport (SYD) will start on Nov. 27, operating twice a week using Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
Tianjin Airlines already operates flights to Sydney, offering a two roundtrips per week from Tianjin via Zhengzhou. This one-stop route that was initially launched in January 2018 and will continue once the flights from Chongqing commence.
