Air China profits on London

AIR CHINA is now only operating the Airbus A330-200 on its daily Beijing – Heathrow route, the airline having disposed of its Boeing 747-400 combis, these proving to be “unsatisfactory”.  One of the few profitable airlines at the current time (it made $490 net January – June 2009), the airline says that its two-class operation on the London route clearly satisfies passenger requirements on a mixture of business, leisure and ethnic traffic.  Economy is provided with 8.4” LCD screens and Business Class offers a shell seat with 10.6” screens and a 168 degree semi-flat seat.  In Europe Frankfurt, Paris and Rome are also served from Beijing.  China Eastern no longer flies between London and Shanghai. www.air-china.co.uk
