This meets the demand for the Chinese and Asian population living around the area, and further consolidates their market share in the region.
The number of flights connecting the North American region and Asia is also planned to increase, in order to cope with increasing demand and new markets, according to the airline. The airline is also increasing flights between key Asian tourist cities.
