Air China ups capacity to North America

AIR China is solidifying its foothold in North America by launching a new route from Beijing to Houston in July 2013. This follows the expansion of its schedules into New York, Los Angeles and Vancouver, and upgrading of its aircraft on its New York and San Francisco routes.

Kicking off in July 11, non-stop Beijing-Houston flights will be operated four-times-weekly with Boeing 777-300ER. The flight will depart from Beijing at 15.00 and land at Houston on the same day, local time. From Houston, the flight will leave at 01.40 the next day, arriving at PEK at 05.00 the following day, local time.

From March 31, 2013, the Beijing-New York and Beijing-Los Angeles services will be enhanced to 11 weekly flights and twice daily respectively. All flights will be operated with the B777-300ER.

Starting May 17, 2013, frequency on the Beijing-Vancouver route will also be increased to 11 weekly flights, which will be operated with Airbus A330-200.

Meanwhile, the airline’s Beijing-San Francisco route will be operated with the B747-400.
