Stop Press: Hainan Airlines resumes direct flights from Manchester to China 22 August onwards

Dear CBI Members and Partners,

The UK and Chinese governments have agreed that flights between Manchester and China can now resume after a two-and-a-half-year suspension, as Hainan Airlines has announced it will resume its Beijing-Manchester service from today (Monday 22 August).

Chris Woodroofe, Managing Director of CBI member Manchester Airport, said: “Prior to 2020, the Hainan service provided vital connectivity to one of the world’s most important economies and I am sure this news will be welcomed by the hundreds of thousands of people across the North who travel to and from China each year."
