Speculation: Boston to get a nonstop China route? 0

Nov28

Ben Mutzabaugh of Today in the Sky has a post up about a report out of Boston stating that Hainan Airlines(which is re-branding itself as Grand China Air) will start nonstop China service from the northeastern city in 2009.  The new service would use Hainan’s Boeing 787 aircraft, so the exact start of service depends on Boeing’s delayed delivery schedule.

Grand China Air’s hub is in the southern city of Haikou, but I highly doubt they would offer nonstop service all the way from Boston to there.  A more likely situation is service from Boston (BOS) to Beijing (PEK), also a city served by Grand China.  The bottom line however is that this is not an announcement, just rumors circulated by a paper, so nothing may materialize at all.  Having said that it does seem fairly reasonable to assume that Boston would get a nonstop China flight sometime in the future.  Sit tight Bostonites!
