Hong Kong’s Greater Bay Airlines has launched flights to Zhoushan, a mainland Chinese city known for its Buddhist pilgrimage site of Mount Putuo, adding a new route that will soon be followed by three others, even as it recently cut a flight to Haikou that began in late July.
The carrier debuted the route to the largest of a cluster of islands off the eastern China coast last week, not long after launching a new flight to Japan’s Yonago in late October. The airline has plans to add Tokushima on November 16, Huangshan on December 4 and Sendai on December 7.
The new routes will expand the network of Hong Kong’s smallest airline to 11 destinations by the end of this year, despite the suspension of a few others this year.
She added the company was now also eyeing gateways to the famous Three Gorges on the Yangtze River, a major tourist attraction in central China known for cruise trips to the Three Gorges Dam, one of the largest in the world.
