Hong Kong Express Airways launches flights to Chongqing

Hong Kong Express Airways has launched its newest scheduled service - between Hong Kong and Chongqing in central southwestern China. Using its fourth 76-seat Embraer 170 passenger aircraft, the Hong Kong-based airline will operate three flights per week between the two business hubs - every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Fast approaching its first anniversary, Hong Kong Express Airways has to date been keenly focused on establishing a key route network between its home in Hong Kong and Mainland China whilst simultaneously exploring routes throughout wider Asia. Chongqing is the airline’s fifth scheduled service in a fast growing network that currently comprises Hangzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, and the hot Thai leisure destination Chiang Mai, launched just last month. In addition to its scheduled services, the airline also operates daily charter services to Taichung in Taiwan in conjunction with Mandarin Airlines and similarly to Laoag in the Philippines.

Situated on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River close to the recently completed three gorges dam, Chongqing is a dynamic economic hub. Home to nearly 32 million people, the city is not only China’s largest but quite possibly the world’s largest city.
