British Airways general manager East Asia Kevin McQuillan stated the carrier is considering launching services to Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Xian, according to a Chengdu Business Times report.

British Airways currently operates daily London Heathrow-Beijing and six times weekly London Heathrow-Shanghai Pudong services, according to Innovata. [more - CAPA analysis]
